False-Positive Asymmetrical Tongue Muscle 18F-FDG Uptake in Hypoglossal Nerve Paralysis Following Lymph Node Dissection in a Pediatric Patient with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Neck

False-Positive Asymmetrical Tongue Muscle 18F-FDG Uptake in Hypoglossal Nerve Paralysis Following Lymph Node Dissection in a Pediatric Patient with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Neck

Background: Although positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) plays an important role in detecting various types of childhood malignancy, it has low positive predictive value, owing to the nonspecific uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) by normal tissue in various b...
