  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A 33-year-old nursing mother who underwent resection of a glioblastoma of the right hemisphere was referred for a <jats:sup>11</jats:sup>C-methionine PET/MR scan to exclude cancer recurrence. In whole-body PET imaging, a slight radiotracer uptake could be observed in the mammary glands, reflecting lactation status. In this case report, we initially describe <jats:sup>11</jats:sup>C-methionine uptake in the human breast and discuss any consequences arising from this special situation.</jats:p>
