Abstract
We report an unusual case of idiopathic internal and external jugular vein thrombosis. Positron emission tomography (PET) using (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG), which was conducted to assess subclinical malignancy, revealed intense uptake of FDG, corresponding to thrombus within the left internal and external jugular veins. Although FDG-PET is widely used in differentiating between malignant and benign diseases, we should bear in mind that this benign entity can demonstrate high accumulation of FDG.Entities:
