Hemangioma of the Ilium Simulating an Aggressive Bone Lesion on Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the case of a 35-year-old man with a hemangioma in the iliac wing that simulated an aggressive bone lesion on CT, MRI, and bone scintigraphy. On CT, the lesion, 12 cm in in maximum dimension, was expansile and septated. On MRI, the lesion was isointense with respect to muscle on T1 weighted images, and hyperintense on T2 images, with focal regions of cortical breach. Radionuclide bone scan showed increased tracer accumulation. The diagnosis was made following surgical biopsy, and the lesion was treated conservatively.

A 74-year-old woman presented with a history of right leg pain. She did not have any obvious past or recent history of physical trauma. Knee radiography showed an oval hypertranslucent lesion in the right tibia (Picture 1). Computed tomography revealed an osteolytic tumor in the left ilium and the right tibia (Picture 2). The left iliac lesion appeared hyperintense on T2-weighted short-tau inve...
متن کاملFalse-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 کاملCavernous Hemangioma of the Ilium Mimicking Aggressive Malignant Bone Tumor with Increased Activity on 18F-FDG PET/CT
Osseous hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor, and it usually occurs in the vertebrae and the skull. However, hemangiomas of flat bones are rare, and there are very few reports that describe the radiologic findings of osseous hemangioma of the ilium. We report a unique case of large cavernous hemangioma mimicking a chondrogenic malignant bone tumor originated from the ilium in a 22-year-old fem...

متن کاملIntraosseous hemangioma of the rib mimicking an aggressive chest wall tumor.
Bone hemangiomas are extremely rare in the ribs, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. A case of a rib hemangioma is presented in which the pre-resection diagnosis was an aggressive chest wall tumor. The plain film, CT, MRI and bone scan features of the lesion were reviewed with the pathological correlation. On imaging, the lesion was expansile and lytic, and it also had fine...
