Chronic expanding hematoma with a significantly high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, mimicking a malignant soft tissue tumor: a case report
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...
متن کاملHibernoma Showing High Uniform Accumulation on an 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Scan: A Case Report
BACKGROUND Hibernoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor arising from brown fat that cannot be distinguished from other lipogenic tumors on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. On the other hand, the image of hibernoma on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) is different from that of other lipogenic tumors. However, fewer studies have inv...
متن کاملHeterogeneous bone marrow uptake on interim 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for lymphoma mimicking disease progression: a case report
INTRODUCTION The use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) scanning for baseline staging and assessment of treatment response for higher grade lymphomas is considered to be the standard of care. Evaluation of lymphomatous bone marrow infiltration on 18F-FDG PET can usually distinguish between normal regenerating marrow following chemotherapy by a characteristic pa...
متن کاملorganizing hematoma of the maxillary sinus mimicking malignancy diagnosed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (fdg pet/ct): a case report
in this report, we have presented 18fdg-pet findings of organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus (ohms) that showed an increased fdg uptake in the peripheral rim of the mass with central photopenia. to our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature reporting fdg-pet/ct findings of ohms. careful interpretation of metabolic (fdg-pet/ct) and anatomic (ct and mri) images should be ...
متن کاملDiabetes and Vascular 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Uptake
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in North America and Europe. During the natural course of atherosclerosis, inflammation plays a major role in the development of complex plaque lesions containing activated macrophages, foam cells, T lymphocytes, mast cells, and a necrotic lipid-rich core (1). When such a plaque becomes unstable due to uncontrolled inflammation and thinning of ...
