Great case presentation. The systematic approach to evaluating osteolytic lesions with PET uptake is really valuable for differential diagnosis. I appreciate how the video format allows for a more dynamic discussion of the imaging findings. The fever context is crucial here since it significantly narrows the differential compared to an incidental finding. Case-based learning like this is way more sticky than textbook descriptions alone.
