False-positive FDG PET CT Scan in Vertebral Hemangioma
FDG PET CT scan is considered to be a sensitive tool to detect skeletal metastasis in known malignancies. However, it’s high sensitivity and low specificity may account for false positive diagnosis in cases of trauma, infection, inflammation and other benign conditions. Skeletal hemangioma is one of the common benign conditions which are typically ametabolic on FDG PET CT with no uptake on bone...
متن کاملMeningioma: A false positive finding of metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan
A 73-year-old man with history of prostatic adenocarcinoma radical prostatectomy underwent 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan and subsequent 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT for restaging due to a gradual rise of prostate-specific antigen levels. Whole-body bone scan showed two focal zones of slightly increased uptake in the right fronto-par...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal fibrosis as a cause of positive FDG PET/CT.
This article educates the reader on idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis and emphasizes the importance of considering conditions that mimic this disease on PET/CT through an illustrative case of a 58 year-old man presenting with intermittent abdominal, back, and scrotal pain undergoing successive PET/CT scans, both for diagnosis and following treatment.
متن کاملFDG Emboli on PET/CT Scan - A Case Report
Uniform focal uptake of FDG avid abnormality in the lung without any corresponding structural lesion on CT is iatrogenic pulmonary embolism. Awareness of this very uncommon condition is essential. It is proposed to avoid direct stick and use preplaced IV cannula for injecting FDG.
متن کاملA False Positive 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan Caused by Breast Silicone Injection
We present here the case of a 40-year-old woman with a greater than 10 year prior history of bilateral breast silicone injection and saline bag implantation. Bilateral palpable breast nodules were observed, but the ultrasound scan was suboptimal and the magnetic resonance imaging showed no gadolinium-enhanced tumor. The (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan showed a hypermetabolic nodule in the left breast wit...
