False Suggestion of Malignant Transformation of Benign Bone Tumor by 18F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract: A 68-year-old man underwent serial F-FDG PET/CT scan follow-up for lung cancer. Then 5.5 years after the initial F-FDG PET/CT scan, the presumed benign bone tumor in the left clavicle showed markedly increased FDG uptake during follow-up; in contrast, the Tc-MDP bone scan paradoxically exhibited no apparent interval change since last bone scan 5.5 years earlier. He underwent a CT-guided biopsy, and the pathological diagnosis was benign fibrous histiocytoma. The result was consistent with the lack of progressio… Show more

“…The utilization of 18 F-FDG PET/CT is applicable for the purposes of staging, identifying recurrence, tracking response to chemotherapy, and forecasting prognosis (43). The terms "soft tissue sarcoma" (frequency: 179), "bone tumor" (frequency: 141), "osteosarcoma" (frequency: 117), and "Ewing sarcoma" (frequency: 37) demonstrate extensive evidence of the broad indications of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in both bone sarcoma and STS (3,44,45). Further, "neoadjuvant chemotherapy" (NCT, centrality: 0.19) has the second highest centrality, demonstrating the importance of NCT for the treatment of sarcoma, and the tumor response to NCT provides us with further information relevant to each patient's biological behavior and helps to predict the ultimate oncology outcome (46,47).…”
