Clinical nuclear medicine Vol. 49 (2) : 196-197 • Feb 2024

A 29-year-old man with Behcet disease exhibiting lower-limb swelling and dyspnea underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT. The imaging revealed bilateral pulmonary artery involvement, and pulmonary artery aneurysms and mural thrombus were confirmed by CT pulmonary angiography. This case underscores the utility of 18 F-FDG PET in identifying life-threatening vasculitis complications in Behcet disease.
