The first revealed abnormal uptakes in the following locations: isthmus and left lobe of the thyroid (maximum standardized uptake value [max SUV]:25.22), bilaterally in the parotid gland (left max SUV:16.02, right max SUV:22.51), left salivary gland (max SUV:8.7), left cervical region (max SUV:15.6), bilaterally in the lungs (max SUV:13.41), pancreatic head (max SUV:17.12), right kidney (max SUV:8.71), multiple cones and ribs (max SUV:17.50), and muscles and subcutaneous tissues (max SUV:26.96) (Figure 1).
