Here's how a positive report reads....
FINDINGS:
HEAD & NECK
+++ There are multiple enlarged, intensely FDG avid, nearly contiguous with left level II lymph nodes likely representing malignancy. The largest measures 2.7 x 1.9 cm (TP 194.2). There are at least 3 additional nearly contiguous lymph nodes in this region of similar size for example at TP 184.4, measuring approximately 1.6 x 1.8 cm. Correlation with tissue diagnosis is recommended.
+ There are scattered subcentimeter non-FDG avid contralateral right-sided cervical lymph nodes.
+++ There is no definite evidence of additional lesions which may represent primary site of disease. Tonsils demonstrate moderate to intense FDG uptake right greater than left, however recent pathology report of tonsillar biopsies yielded "no evidence of malignant neoplasm".
- There is no evidence of abnormal focal FDG uptake fusing to the visualized cerebral or cerebellar hemispheres.
- The visualized paranasal sinuses are clear.
- The thyroid gland is grossly unremarkable.
