Abstract

Increased (18)F-FDG uptake is sometimes seen in individual muscles and in adipose tissue in the neck and shoulder region, axillae, mediastinum, and perinephric regions. There is also associated (18)F-FDG uptake in the intercostal spaces in the paravertebral regions. (18)F-FDG uptake in neck fat is more commonly seen in female patients and the pediatric population. The pattern of uptake as well as the age and sex distribution suggest that the (18)F-FDG in fat is in the brown adipose tissue. It is important to recognize this uptake pattern to avoid false interpretation of this benign normal variant as a malignant finding on (18)F-FDG PET scans.
