Tóm tắt

Abstract The utility of PET in septicemia for showing its source and possible metastatic infection has been demonstrated. We describe the diagnosis on PET/CT of a spontaneous corpus cavernosum abscess in a 64-year-old man presenting with Streptococcus constellatus septicemia, in whom the clinical diagnosis had been elusive for 10 days.
