    Snippet: Reactive lymphadenopathy with increased 18F-Fluordeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans is known after mRNA vaccination (BNT162B2, mRNA-1273) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV2). Besides this, increased FDG uptake in the thymus might occur after mRNA vaccination as shown in our case of a young patient with mantle cell lmyphoma. Especially in patients with lymphoma but also in other patients with cancer i
    Document: Reactive lymphadenopathy with increased 18F-Fluordeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans is known after mRNA vaccination (BNT162B2, mRNA-1273) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV2). Besides this, increased FDG uptake in the thymus might occur after mRNA vaccination as shown in our case of a young patient with mantle cell lmyphoma. Especially in patients with lymphoma but also in other patients with cancer it is critical to distinguish between immune responses and involvement of the disease to avoid inadequate treatment decisions.
