Özet

This case illustrates a pitfall associated with F-18 fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) imaging in a patient with malignant disease. We presented the F-18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) images of a 42-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that showed intense accumulation of F-18 FDG in the proximal metaphysis of the right femur that could simulate extranodal involvement. The fusion PET/CT images demonstrated that accumulation of F-18 FDG in the nidus was surrounded by a halo of reactive sclerotic bone. Combined PET/CT imaging has facilitated the descriptions of FDG uptake by allowing accurate anatomic localization of the FDG uptake.
