Abstract
We present a patient with an inflammatory pseudotumour of the neck with multifocal sites in the head and chest responding to steroids. A review of the literature revealed that this is the first case of a pseudotumour with multiple sites in the head and neck as revealed by 2-[18]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET scan imaging.
