Bannas P et al. – Based on this results, authors believe that the role of positron emission tomography in the detection of occult neoplasms in patients with PNS has been overestimated in the past. In clinical practice, PNS is far more often suspected than proven. In this study combined PET/CT identified malignancy as the underlying cause of suspected PNS in only 8.7%. The authors believe that combined PET/CT should be reserved for stringently selected patients with a high clinical index of suspicion for PNS and after conventional imaging techniques fail to detect a tumour.
