The importance, imaging characteristics and outcome of focal thyroid incidentaloma on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) have been illustrated in this report. This is drawn from a series of three case examples of proven malignancy at different locations, with three different thyroid cytopathological diagnoses. Subsequently, a case-based discussion on present consensus of the management of this entity has been undertaken including certain specific aspects of PET-CT interpretation and its role in this setting
