Quintessential role of 18fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in differentiation of viable tumor tissue and nondisease desmoplastic residue

Abstract

The authors report a series of cases of treated nodal, solid malignancies showing persisting physical residue after completion of treatment with 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computerized tomography showing non-avid status conjuring a nondisease desmoplastic residue over morphological disease.
