Abstract
Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old woman who performed PET/CT 18F-FDG as an initial workup for HER2+ right breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Examination revealed multifocal breast involvement with homolateral lymph node involvement. Contralateral axillary adenopathy and diffuse splenic and osteomedullary hypermetabolism were also observed, suggesting associated lymphoma in the absence of a recent COVID-19 vaccination. Cytopuncture was discussed and finally postponed after the patient was found to have recently received a pneumococcal vaccination.
