Abstract:
F-18 FDG PET is a useful imaging modality in breast carcinoma for detection of recurrent disease, unsuspected regional and distant metastases, and in monitoring cancer response to therapy. Although preliminary results showed PET capable of differentiating benign from malignant diseases, the role of PET in primary breast tumor identification has limitations with the small size and certain histologic characteristics of the tumors, and inflammatory and infectious processes.
To the list of false-positive PET results, the authors add a case of intraductal papilloma incidentally detected by PET during staging of intestinal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract:
Although PET/CT imaging provides the most comprehensive evaluation of cancer, coexisting hypermetabolic benign processes may interfere with the staging of aggressive malignancy such as melanoma and extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Acute and subacute skeletal injuries have been reported as false-positive PET findings. The authors present additional mimickers of high metabolic malignancy with a case of stage III recurrent melanoma featuring F-18 FDG accumulation at partially torn medial plantar fascia and tibiocalcaneal ligament of the left foot.
