摘要：

Some patients use complementary medicine. We present a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, scanned with F-18-FDG PET/CT for evaluation of response after chemotherapy, who was self-administering mistletoe as a homeopathic medicine product. The careful review of the images of the entire scan and patient collaboration in anamnesis were crucial to avoid a false positive result. A review of the published scientific data on the effects of mistletoe is also presented. (C) 2016 Elsevier Espafia, S.L.U. y SEMNIM. All rights reserved.
