Abstract
- We report a case of cervicofacial actinomycosis mimicking malignant sarcoma in a 78-year-old man with diabetes. High lesion uptake and decreased cerebral uptake on [18F]FDG PET/CT provide a potentially important diagnostic clue suggesting infectious disease in a poorly controlled diabetic patient.
