Hibernoma in the Thigh Mimicking Soft Tissue Sarcoma on FDG-PET
Hibernoma, a tumor of benign brown adipose tissue can present as a large mass that can mimic a sarcoma. Imaging characterization of large extremity tumors can be very helpful in assessment of these masses for treatment planning and follow-up. We report on a case where FDG-PET imaging was performed on a patient with a large thigh mss, suspected to be a sarcoma. The FDG-PET uptake was highly avid...
متن کاملGossypiboma of the Thigh Mimicking Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Case Report and Review of Literature
INTRODUCTION Foreign body granulomas due to surgical swab left after surgery (Gossypiboma) are rare. There are few cases of such lesion after orthopaedic procedure in thigh. Presentations vary from pathological fracture to painless mass. Gossipyboma with radiological appearance of soft tissue sarcoma are rare and we report one such case.

متن کاملSoft tissue sarcoma mimicking eosinophilic leukemia.
Blood eosinophilia is diagnosed by an absolute eosinophil count that exceeds 0.5 × 109/L.1 Hypereosinophilia is classified as either primary, due to clonal expansion of eosinophils through acquisition of a somatic mutation (eg, FIP1L1-PDGFRA),1 or secondary, as seen in response to exogenous type 2 cytokines (eg, IL-3, IL-5, and GMCSF) secreted by various cells (eg, T-lymphocytes).2-4 Secondary ...
متن کاملMultiple FDG-avid sclerosing hemangiomas mimicking pulmonary metastases in a case of soft tissue sarcoma
Non-neoplastic lesions have been known to mimic malignancies and metastases on positron emission tomography/computed tomography. We report the rare occurrence of multiple fluorodeoxyglucose-concentrating sclerosing hemangiomas in a patient with soft tissue sarcoma mimicking lung metastases.
متن کاملFDG PET/CT in Initial Staging of Adult Soft-Tissue Sarcoma
Soft-tissue sarcomas spread predominantly to the lung and it is unclear how often FDG-PET scans will detect metastases not already obvious by chest CT scan or clinical examination. Adult limb and body wall soft-tissue sarcoma cases were identified retrospectively. Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, GIST, desmoid tumors, visceral tumors, bone tumors, and retroperitoneal sarcomas were excluded as...
