Diagnostic Challenges in a Case of Suspected Breast Cancer with Low FDG Uptake and an Incidental Thyroid Lesion: A Case Report and Literature Review
This case underscores the importance of integrating multiple imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis.

The incidental thyroid lesion also required further assessment, reinforcing the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
