18F-FDG PET/CT Findings in a Patient With Neutrophilic Leukemoid Reaction Associated With Multiple Myeloma.

abstract：:A 67-year-old woman underwent F-FDG PET/CT after developing a fever of unknown origin. PET/CT revealed intensive FDG uptake at the nasal and lung lesions. On the laboratory data, serum myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) titer was elevated, although serum directed against proteinase 3 (PR3) AN...
