pubmed:abstractText |
The neck lymph nodes are a common site of metastases from carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP syndrome). 2[(18) F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (18-FDG-PET) has been shown to be a sensitive tool for detecting primary malignant lesions as well as metastatic spread. We have prospectively investigated the sensitivity of 18-FDG-PET in detecting occult primary carcinomas with manifestation in the head and neck lymph nodes.
