Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Ear piercing is currently a common practice. Although rare, ear piercing can cause systemic infections. We present a case of an 18-year-old woman who underwent FDG PET/CT for prolonged fever and bacteremia. FDG PET/CT showed multifocal FDG uptake at the site of piercing in the left ear, and in the spleen and left atrium and deep thigh vessel. The patient was diagnosed with an ear piercing infection with multiple metastatic infections.
