A 56-year-old man underwent F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate possible pancreatic cancer, which was revealed by CT. The images showed a solid lesion with peripherally increased FDG activity in the tail of the pancreas, as well as hypermetabolic lesions in the lumbar spine and rib. Pathological examination following lumbar biopsy demonstrated multiple myeloma. Five months after chemotherapy, follow-up FDG PET/CT showed cystic change in the pancreatic lesion without elevated metabolism. DOI: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003019
