Because the detection of the primary tumour is of importance to optimize the patient's management and allows a targeted therapy, the performance of hybrid positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the detection of primary tumors and unrecognized metastases with cervical lymph node metastases were evaluated in a retrospective study.
