A Case of Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma Showing a Biphasic Pattern on 2-Deoxy-2-F18-Fluoro-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

چکیده
Integrated 2-deoxy-2-F(18)-fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) has been used in the field of soft tissue sarcoma. We report an 81-year-old man with dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the left thigh, which was composed of well-differentiated liposarcoma and pleomorphic malignant fibrous histiocytoma. As well as other radiological modalities, FDG-PET was able to demonstrate a biphasic signal pattern composed of well-differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated area, being consistent with the histological grade of malignancy.

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a very rare neoplasm with fewer than 200 cases recorded in world literature. This report describes a case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord which developed after radical prostatectomy and salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer treatment. Four years following surgical treatment of the primary neoplasm and one year following radiotherapy, the 67 –year –ol...
متن کاملMyxoid liposarcoma with negative features on bone scan and [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography
BACKGROUND Myxoid liposarcoma occurs in middle age, and is characterized by extrapulmonary metastasis, including bone metastasis. Bone scans and [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are widely used for assessment of tumor extension, including vertebral metastasis. However, both methods have a low positive rate with regard to vertebral metastasis arising from m...
متن کاملDiagnostic role and limitations of 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro- D-Glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in screening of synchronous cancer of other organs in patients with head and neck cancers
Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) often develop synchronous primary cancers. It is important to detect synchronous cancer in HNSCC patients, because it influences treatment selection of primary cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic role and limitations of pre-treatment 2-deoxy-2(F-18) Fluoro-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) in pati...

Aim: The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the potential role of 2-[18f]-fluoro–2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses and the evaluation of axillary lymph node involvement. The secondary objective of this study was to assess the value of FDG PET in the initial staging of patients with breast cancer.

INTRODUCTION Chronic expanding hematoma is a rare persistent hematoma that can sometimes be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor due to its clinical and radiological features. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-old Japanese man with a large mass in his leg, suggestive of malignancy, presented to our hospital. He had been aware of the leg swelling for the last eight years. A magnetic resonance imaging s...
