Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a rare form of systemic vasculitis that primarily involves the small-to-medium sized vessels and affects both the kidneys and the upper and lower respiratory tract. In this case report, FDG PET/CT findings of bilateral hypermetabolic lung lesions that mimic malignancy in a patient with WG are presented. The hypermetabolic lesions completely disappeared on follow-up PET/CT scan after treatment with cyclophosphamide. The increased FDG uptake of these lesions substantially regressed following treatment.
