Axillary findings are relatively frequent and can be isolated or in association with other findings. In patients with axillary involvement only the frequency of false positivity results is elevated and therefore these cases need to be evaluated carefully. In contrast, axillary findings associated with other pathological localizations show true positive results in most cases, thus indicating a high likelihood of disease recurrence. Standardized uptake values showed a limited role for discriminating true-positive and false-positive findings.
