영문 초록

The anterior approach to the cervical spine surgery is associated with possible complications such as dyspha-gia, hoarseness and granuloma formation etc. Because of orthopedic metallic plates, the increasing or focal up-take pattern may be demonstrated in 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. A 67-year-old-man came to our department, com-plained of dysphagia during the 4 months. He underwent cervical spine surgery three years ago. The CT and MRI findings mimicked typical posterior pharyngeal wall cancer with cervical metastasis. Furthermore, the SUV in 18 F-FDG PET/CT was 10.3. But he was finally diagnosed as a granuloma resulting from the metallic cervical im-plants. The clinical correlation and medical history should be taken into account to avoid false-positive findings in PET/CT and to avoid many erroneous diagnostic pathways.
