A member asked:
Got results for pet scan on lung nodules. nodules are "undetermined" cuz of size but parotid glands on both side of neck showed "hot". any relation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No relation: Parotid glands can have chronic inflammation which will show up on a PET scan just like tumors do. But it is unlikely to be anything significant that should worry you. You can ignore it for the time being.
