| Abstract | A 65-year-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia presented for an$ ^{18}$fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography computed tomography $(^{18}$FDG PET) after several courses of chemotherapy for metastatic evaluation. Unexpectedly, on$ ^{18}$FDG PET scan, no discernible uptake was observed in the visceral organs, but instead, the skeleton/bone marrow showed homogenously intense metabolic activity. The distribution of$ ^{18}$FDG observed on the scan was remarkably similar to that on the NaF PET scan, indicating a superscan appearance. |
