Title: Incidental Finding of COVID-19 Lung Infection in (18)F-FDG PET/CT: What Should We Do? Cord-id: u60jy7iw Document date: 2020_6_17
ID: u60jy7iw
Snippet: We report the case of an asymptomatic (no fever, no cough, no dyspnea) 80-year-old woman who had an (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan for initial staging of Lieberkühnian adenocarcinoma located on anal canal. Chest analysis incidentally revealed bilateral diffuse patchy ground-glass opacity with mild increasing (18)F-FDG uptake, consistent with incidental COVID-19 infection finding during the March 2020 pandemic. The infection was confirmed by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. It led us to
Document: We report the case of an asymptomatic (no fever, no cough, no dyspnea) 80-year-old woman who had an (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan for initial staging of Lieberkühnian adenocarcinoma located on anal canal. Chest analysis incidentally revealed bilateral diffuse patchy ground-glass opacity with mild increasing (18)F-FDG uptake, consistent with incidental COVID-19 infection finding during the March 2020 pandemic. The infection was confirmed by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. It led us to improve patient flow and to undertake broader measures to avoid patient clinical issues and potential disease spreading.
