Abstract: Paraneoplastic vasculitis is a rare entity usually seen in haematological malignancies. Its incidence is even more rare in solid tumours like breast, renal, colon and lung. F-18 FDG PET-CT is commonly used to differentiate between active vasculitis and atherosclerosis in patients with large to medium vessel vasculitis.
