滑石粉胸膜固定术会引起强烈的局部炎症反应，在手术后数年内可以通过PET扫描检测到。当患者在以后的生活中接受PET扫描检查疑似恶性肿瘤时，胸膜FDG摄取可能不必要地导致额外的侵入性诊断检查。我们报告了两例滑石粉胸膜固定术后10年以上阳性胸膜PET结果的病例，我们采用了观察等待方法。由于既往滑石粉胸膜固定术导致的阳性胸膜PET结果应始终纳入胸膜异常的鉴别诊断中。
Talc pleurodesis induces a strong local inflammatory reaction which can be detected by PET scan for years after the procedure. When patients undergo PET scanning in the workup of a suspected malignancy later in life, pleural FDG uptake may unnecessarily lead to an additional invasive diagnostic workup. We present two cases of positive pleural PET findings more than 10 years after talc pleurodesis, where we adopted a watchful waiting approach. Positive pleural PET findings as a result of prior talc pleurodesis should always be included in the differential diagnosis of pleural abnormalities.
