Background: In patients with fever or inflammation of unknown origin (fever of unknown origin [FUO] or inflammation of unknown origin [IUO], respectively), expert consensus recommends the use of positron emission tomography with fluorine-18-fluorodeoxy glucose combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) when standard work-up fails to identify diagnostic clues. However, the clinical variables associated with successful localization of the cause by FDG-PET/CT remain uncertain. Moreover, the long-term outcomes of patients with unexplained FUO or IUO after negative FDG-PET/CT results are unknown. Therefore, we assessed predictors of successful diagnosis of FUO or IUO caused by FDG-PET/CT and associations of spontaneous remission of symptoms with FDG-PET/CT results. Methods: All patients with FUO or IUO, who underwent FDG-PET/CT from 2013 to 2019 because diagnostic work-up failed to identify a cause, were retrospectively included. We calculated the diagnostic yield and performed multivariable logistic regression to assess characteristics previously proposed to be associated with successful localization of FUO or IUO causes. We also assessed whether the FDG-PET/CT results were associated with spontaneous remissions. Results: In total, 50 patients with diagnostically challenging FUO or IUO (35 with FUO and 15 with IUO) were assessed. Other than one case of infection, all the identified causes were either malignancy or non-infectious inflammatory diseases (each with 18 patients), and FDG-PET/ CT correctly localized the cause in 29 patients (diagnostic yield = 58%). None of the proposed variables was associated with successful localization. All 13 patients with sustained unexplained cause remained alive (median follow-up, 190 days). Spontaneous remission was observed in 4 of 5 patients with a negative FDG-PET/CT, and 1 of 8 with a positive result (P = 0.018). Conclusion: In the current cohort, the proposed variables were not predictive for successful localization by FDG-PET/CT. A negative FDG-PET/CT scan may be prognostic for spontaneous remission in patients with sustained FUO or IUO.

Purpose: This study aimed to summarize the impact of neck and head radiation treatment on maxillofacial structures detected on panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, the authors searched PubMed Central, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for original research studies up to February 2020 that included the following Medical Subject Headings keywords: words related to "radiotherapy" and synonyms combined with keywords related to "panoramic radiography" and "oral diagnosis" and synonyms. Only original studies in English that investigated the maxillofacial effects of radiotherapy via panoramic radiographs were included. The quality of the selected manuscripts was evaluated by assessing the risk of bias using Cochrane's ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies. Results: Thirty-three studies were eligible and included in this review. The main objectives pertained to the assessment of the effects of radiation on maxillofacial structures, including bone architecture alterations, periodontal space widening, teeth development abnormalities, osteoradionecrosis, and implant bone loss. The number of participants evaluated ranged from 8 to 176. Conclusion: The interaction between ionizing radiation and maxillofacial structures results in hazard to the tissues involved, particularly the bone tissue, periosteum, connective tissue of the mucosa, and endothelium. Hard tissue changes due to radiation therapy can be detected on panoramic radiographs.
