Abstract
Recently, PET/CT has been used increasingly in the detection of pulmoner and mediastinal lesions. However, inflamatory and granulomatous diseases that show increased F-18 FDG uptake and have SUVmax values more than 2.5, such as aspergillosis, tuberculosis, Wegener granulomatosis and sarcoidosis may cause false positive results. In this case, F-18 FDG PET/BT imaging findings were presented in a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis who was investigated for primarily suspected malignancy

Abstract
Son yıllarda, PET/BT malignite düşünülen pulmoner ve mediastinal lezyonların tanısında sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Ancak artmış F-18 FDG tutulumu gösteren, SUVmaks değerinin 2.5’ten fazla olduğu aspergilloz, tuberküloz, Wegener granulomatozu, ve sarkoidoz gibi inflamatuar ve granulomatoz hastalıklar yanlış pozitif sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada malignite şüphesi ile araştırılan pulmoner sarkoidozlu bir hastanın ilginç F-18 FDG PET/BT görüntüleme bulguları sunulmuştur
