Hemangioma de mama simulando metástase no PET-CT

Abstract: Hemangioma de mama é um tumor benigno raro que apresenta pouca ou nenhuma captação de 18F-flúor-2-deoxi-Dglicose (FDG) na tomografia por emissão de pósitrons (PET). Relatamos um nódulo mamário compatível, patologicamente, com hemangioma, em uma mulher cuja PET scan demonstrou captação elevada de FDG (simulando tumor maligno). Também fizemos breve revisão das causas que levam a resultados falso-positivos e falso-negativos pela PET.
