Abstract
Various immune-mediated side effects were detected by F-18 FDG PET-CT in the patients subjected to immunomodulating therapy with ipilimumab. It is essential for the interpreting provider to recognize and differentiate abnormal FDG uptake associated with immune-mediated side effects from hypermetabolic malignant lesions when using F-18 FDG PET-CT for monitoring therapeutic effects of ipilimumab on melanoma lesions.
