Correct management of a PET session presents many difficulties because of the coexistence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and patients with mild symptoms before the PET scan (https://www.sirm.org/2020/03/30/ covid-19-caso-69/), mostly not tested on RT-PCR, but variably presenting with chest CT findings compatible with pulmonary interstitial infiltrates, potentially associated with infection or drug-related reactions. In this study, we report 5 patients (Table 1) with unknown SARS-CoV-2 infection undergoing PET/CT scan for restaging breast and prostate cancer (patients 1, 3, 4), characterization of lung nodule (patient 2), and focal splenic lesions (patient 5). Recent case series about PET in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia showed high 18 F-FDG uptake in lung lesions accompanied by nodal involvement detectable on PET/CT images.	./cache/cord-351367-ral9sbfy.txt	./txt/cord-351367-ral9sbfy.txt
