Here is an other (older) example of the usefulness of PET scans in this case report in 2000:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=110297 91&dopt=Abstract

Lymph node metastasis from breast cancer diagnosed by F-18 FDG whole-body PET (case report).

Nowdays, I assume a combined PET/CT scan would provide an even more accurate diagnostic.

"Nowdays, I assume a combined PET/CT scan would provide an even more accurate diagnostic."

True, at least from my experience...
