FDG uptake in sternoclavicular joint synovitis: mimic of internal mammary adenopathy.
False-positive FDG uptake has been noted in a wide range of benign processes. In this report, we describe a case of FDG uptake in unilateral sternoclavicular synovitis which mimicked an internal mammary node in appearance. Knowledge of this potential false-positive is particularly important in breast cancer patients with a propensity of internal mammary nodal metastases.
متن کاملPathological Findings of Osteoarthritis in Sternoclavicular Joint
Background: The sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) is the only synovial articulation between the upper extremity and the trunk. This joint is one of the most frequently used joints, so osteoarthritis (OA) should be very common. However, there are few studies about OA in this joint. Methods: In this study, 48 sternoclavicular joints from the left and right joints of 23 cases and two left joints from t...
متن کاملNonunion of the First Sternocostal Synchondrosis Accompanied by Sternoclavicular Joint Synovitis
Injury to the sternocostal synchondrosis of the first rib is quite rare. We report one such case in a 50-year-old man with nonunion of the first sternocostal synchondrosis accompanied by synovitis of the sternoclavicular joint. He first underwent arthroscopic surgery of the left sternoclavicular joint. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms decreased by half, but another pain and crepitus at t...
متن کاملOncogene pathway activation in mammary tumors dictates FDG-PET uptake.
Increased glucose utilization is a hallmark of human cancer that is used to image tumors clinically. In this widely used application, glucose uptake by tumors is monitored by positron emission tomography of the labeled glucose analogue 2[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). Despite its widespread clinical use, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that determine FDG uptake--and that underlie t...
متن کاملSternoclavicular joint reconstruction technique
While most sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations can be managed non-operatively with closed reduction, persistent or recurrent instability associated with pain or inability to work necessitates operative management [1]. Non-operative management has further been shown to result in symptomatic degenerative changes in the SCJ [2]. Reconstruction is generally indicated in the setting of symptom...
