Abstract
Incidental uptake in [18F]FDG PET/CT is not uncommon, but uptake in the oral and sinonasal regions was less frequently reported. We present a case of incidental focal [18F]FDG PET/CT uptake within the hard palate, which was later revealed to be an ossifying fibroma. We also reviewed some relevant literature and suggested that further investigation may be necessary for some patients with incidental [18F]FDG PET/CT uptake in the oral and sinonasal regions.
