Abstract

lymphadenitis, due to typical or atypical mycobacterium, is a clinical condition frequently associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. differential diagnosis between benign and malignant causes may be a challenge for clinicians. In this regard, the role of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) has still not been fully explored. we describe a case of 30-year-old male, infected by HIV, with mycobacterial lymphadenitis, in which 18FDG-PET and PET-derived parameters resulted useful for guiding diagnosis and monitoring the response to treatment
