Adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals are still not reported worldwide. However, the type of reaction may be severe and cause death. A review of the literature was performed using some criteria of a systematic review established by the Cochrane Collaboration. The results showed that there are a large number of adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals. Nuclear medicine staff must be aware of the possibility of adverse reaction with radiopharmaceuticals and find time to share this information with the radiopharmacist and the national pharmacovigilance system.

Introduction: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer that typically arises from the mesothelial linings of the lungs. The current study presents a rare case of MPM with a good clinical response to chemotherapy, associated with pericardial dual mesh uptake in PET scan upon follow up. Case presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with dyspnea, severe headache for a period of a month. He had history dendritic cell sarcoma which had been managed by 21 cycles of radiotherapy. Chest x. ray showed multiple pleural based masses. Chest computed tomography scan showed multiple lobulated pleural masses involving right hemithorax. Pleural biopsy showed epithelial type-mesothelioma. The patient underwent 3 sessions of combination chemotherapy followed by pleurectomy. The patient's response to chemotherapy was optimal and 5 month-PET scan follow up showed uptake by the implanted mesh. Discussion: MPM is reported to be directly linked to asbestos exposure with poor prognosis. The current optimal management regarding MPM is lacking. Even though PET scan is highly sensitive, sites of infections, inflammation, and healing of surgical scars have been reported to show uptake, leading to a false positive result. Conclusion: The best therapeutic approach regarding MPM can be multimodal therapies that include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy before and after surgery. PET scan follow up of patients with previous mesh implantations can show uptake and mimic malignancy. Highlights

Collagen injection has been used as dermal filler in plastic and cosmetic surgery. A technetium Tc methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy was performed in a 47-year-old woman as part of the breast cancer evaluation. The images showed intense methylene diphosphonate activity on both sides of the frontal head, where she received collagen injection 1 year prior. The activity was visualized again in all 3 follow-up bone scans over the subsequent 3 years.
