Positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( PET / CT ) imaging modalities are commonly utilised for investigation of known or suspected neoplastic disease. A variety of 18‐F‐fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG ) positive cutaneous lesions have been described in the literature, including both malignant lesions and benign inflammatory conditions. We report a case of PET / CT ‐positive dermal naevus.
