My own PETscan showed "mild hypermetabolic activity" in the upper right lobe of my lung. Went in for a fine needle biopsy a week and a half later, but the contrast ct showed nothing to biopsy.
It seems "hypermetabolic activity" is not always cancer. It could be an inflammatory process.
dx 2/13/06. modified radical neck dissection 3/9/06 multiple biopsies of upper airway and direct laryngoscopy. 1 of 47 lymph nodes positive for metastatic undifferentiated carcinoma (lymphoepithelioma). Unknown primary. Finished radiation 5/24/06.
