We report the case of who has been hospitalized complaining about fever in the last 4 days. Laboratory data revealed lymphocytopenia and leucopenia with an elevation of C‐reactive protein and positive real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Six days before this hospitalization, when the patient was asymptomatic, (18)F‐FDG PET/CT images were performed for the therapeutic control of liver metastases of colorectal cancer. Lung abnormality findings at (18)F‐FDG PET/CT images, unrelated to cancer metastases, but suspicious for viral infection, may suggest the presence of COVID‐19 disease in its early phase before symptoms onset. Since PET/CT is more sensitive than CT scan in detecting host’s reaction, the added value of this technique could be monitoring disease progression and could be used as a biomarker of lung disease activity and therefore as an important tool for a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the progression of lung disease.
