OBJECTIVE: We describe the significance of detecting focal areas of hypermetabolism in the breast in patients undergoing PET/CT for reasons other than for breast cancer detection or staging. CONCLUSION: When evaluated, almost all of the abnormal foci detected in the breast subsequently proved to be breast carcinoma, specifically infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
