FDG uptake in sternoclavicular joint synovitis: mimic of internal mammary adenopathy.
نویسنده
چکیده
False-positive FDG uptake has been noted in a wide range of benign processes. In this report, we describe a case of FDG uptake in unilateral sternoclavicular synovitis which mimicked an internal mammary node in appearance. Knowledge of this potential false-positive is particularly important in breast cancer patients with a propensity of internal mammary nodal metastases.

SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis), a rare inflammatory disorder, is an association of distinct skin disorders with pustules with osteoarticular inflammation. Its etiology remains unclear, and various treatment regimens frequently fail to control the disease. An 18-year-old male patient presented to the outpatient department with severe nodulocystic acne on the...
متن کاملExtra-articular knee lesion with high fluorodeoxyglucose-uptake on positron emission tomography.
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon musculoskeletal tumor that is typically benign and often diagnosed radiologically by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging tool primarily used in oncology to evaluate malignancy. FDG measures metabolic activity with standardized uptake value (SUV). A high SUV is su...
