Incidental Acute Appendicitis on Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) Imaging: Radiology From a Different Perspective.Although Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is routinely used in oncological imaging, the F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) avidity is not tumor-specific.  Similarly, abnormal 18F-FDG uptake in an inflamed appendix can pose a diagnostic challenge for the interpreter of oncologic 18F-FDG PET/CT.  We present the case of an 18-year-old female with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma who had 18F-FDG PET/CT while undergoing chemoradiotherapy.

PET/CT
The patient was called for additional workup, which included an ultrasound abdomen.  The results of the follow-up complete blood counts and ultrasound examination were negative.
