Abstract
Although utility of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been rehearsed in large vessel vasculitides, it is not known if small vessel vasculitides are also associated with increased FDG uptake. Hereby described is a 64-year-old female patient with prolonged fever and splenomegaly, which was depicted as a hot area in FDG-PET. Splenectomy disclosed microaneurysms, giant cell granuloma, perivascular leukocytic...
