摘要：

Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to characterize single pulmonary nodules and to stage lung cancer. A cut-off threshold standardized uptake value of 2.5 is reported to provide optimal sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions. The authors describe a patient with a single left hilar lesion on an F-18 FDG-PET scan that was thought to be malignant, but this was proved histopathologically to be Castleman's disease. When PET studies are interpreted, in addition to other benign conditions such as granulomas, infection, and inflammatory processes, clinicians should consider disorders such as Castleman's disease.
