## BACKGROUND. Second primary tumors are a leading cause of death among patients with head and neck cancer; therefore, early detection of these tumors is necessary. In the current study, the authors aimed to evaluate the diagnostic capacity of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose dual-head positron emission t
Objectives/Hypothesis: Using a retrospective approach, the aim of this study was to confirm the previously described value of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) in patients with primary extranodal lymphoma of the head and neck region. A
## BACKGROUND. Patients who present with squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to cervical lymph nodes and no clinically apparent primary site present a therapeutic dilemma. Positron emission tomography imaging with 2-[F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for the examina
