Abstract

In patients with known extrathoracic malignancy, the differential diagnosis of thorax and mediastinal masses or pleural fluid detected on FDG PET-CT examinations as primary tumor metastasis or secondary malignancy is of clinical importance. In this study, the contribution of FDG PET-CT examination in differential diagnosis was investigated.
