Pulmonary meningioma: false-positive positron emission tomography for malignant pulmonary nodules.

abstract：BACKGROUND:FDG PET-CT plays a critical role in the management of head and neck cancer patients. After therapy, many patterns of altered physiologic FDG uptake have been recognized. In our institution, we noticed patterns of head and neck muscle uptake that were unique in the post-therapy scans of head and neck cancer p...
