چکیده
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.

Here, we describe a patient with a history of colorectal cancer in whom 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) was performed for the evaluation of response to therapy. [18F]FDG PET/CT showed a small residual disease in the rectum. In addition, multiple metabolically inactive soft tissue densities were d...

متن کاملF-18 FDG PET/CT Imaging of Eccrine Sweat Gland Carcinoma of the Scrotum with Extensive Regional and Distant Metastases
Eccrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant skin cancer arising from eccrine sweat glands with a high metastatic potential. It mainly occurs in the elderly, with equal incidence in both sexes. It usually spreads to regional lymph nodes, with liver, lungs, and bones being the most common sites of distant metastasis. Because of tumor rarity, little is known about the value of F18- FDG PET/CT...

INTRODUCTION Hepatic sclerosing hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor, characterized by fibrosis and hyalinization occurring in association with degeneration of a hepatic cavernous hemangioma. We report here a rare case of multiple hepatic sclerosing hemangioma mimicking metastatic liver tumor that was successfully treated using laparoscopic surgery.

متن کاملHibernoma 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...
