Pathological diagnosis of the dissected lymph nodes with positive findings on CT and FDG-PET/CT among patients who had undergone both CT and FDG-PET/CT

^*The presence of lymph nodes ≥ 1 cm in their smallest diameter was considered to be positive on CT; ^†The presence of lymph nodes with a maximum SUV ≥ 3.0 was considered to be positive on FDG-PET/CT; ^‡Granulomas and acid-fast bacilli were observed on microscopic evaluation in one patient only; ^§Only granulomas were observed on microscopic evaluation in two patients. CT, computed tomography; FDG-PET, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography; LN, lymph node; SUV, standardized uptake value; TB, tuberculosis.
