Abstract

A 48-year-old man with an intermittent fever of 39.0^oC for more than three weeks underwent computed tomography (CT) and blood testing, which revealed no clues. Antibiotics wereadministered, but his condition did not improve. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT) showed right-lobe-dominant diffuse thyroid uptake. On technetium-99m (^99mTc) pertechnetate scintigraphy, the thyroid gland could not be visualized, and he was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis (SAT). When asymmetric ¹⁸F-FDG diffuse thyroid uptake on PET/CT is observed in a patient with a fever of unknown origin (FUO), SAT may need to be considered.

亚急性甲状腺炎患者18F-FDG PET/CT不对称弥漫性甲状腺摄取：病例报告和文献复习。

一名48岁的男子间歇性发烧39.0摄氏度超过三周，他接受了计算机断层扫描（CT）和血液检测，但没有发现任何线索。服用了抗生素，但他的病情没有好转。氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（18F-FDG PET/CT）显示右叶弥漫性甲状腺摄取占主导地位。在99mTc高锝酸盐闪烁显像中，甲状腺无法显示，他被诊断为亚急性甲状腺炎（SAT）。当在不明原因发热（FUO）患者的PET/CT上观察到不对称18F-FDG弥漫性甲状腺摄取时，可能需要考虑SAT。
