“…Only a few cases have been reported where desmoid tumors mimicking a tumor recurrence in breast cancer patients after conserving operation (2-5). For the patient with a history of breast cancer and operation, it is very confusing to provide a differential diagnosis other than recurrent breast cancer such as postoperative change or soft tissue tumor of the chest wall.…”

Desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. It has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. Especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. We presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/computed tomography) of chest wall desmoid tumor mimicking recurrent breast cancer in a 38-year-old patient with a history of left modified mastectomy. The desmoid tumor is a rare benign tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant local tumor recurrence after breast cancer operation. Biopsy was required for accurate diagnosis and wide local excision was its appropriate surgical management.

“…Souza, et al reported a chest wall desmoid tumor (9 cm in diameter) that also had a mild SUV max of 1.7. 18) Conversely, Kasper, et al performed FDG-PET analysis of 16 patients with desmoid tumors, for whom the median SUV max was 4.1 (range: 1.0-8.1). 19) Although FDG-PET was useful for discriminating benign tumors from lung cancer recurrence, further emanation of PET for desmoid-type fibromatosis is needed.…”

Chest wall desmoid-type fibromatoses are rare tumors 1) that occasionally arise from thoracotomy scars. 2,3) They are locally aggressive tumors that occasionally exhibit local recurrence after resection. 4) Desmoid tumors arising from thoracotomy scars in patients with lung cancer should be discriminated from chest wall recurrence or dissemination of lung cancer. To address this issue, we present our case and review cases of desmoid-type fibromatosis following a previous thoracotomy that were reported in English or Japanese. Case ReportA 62-year-old woman was found to have a chest wall tumor on chest computed tomography (CT) at a 1-year routine follow-up after video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy for pT1aN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma. The tumor was 3.4 × 1.3 cm in size, and it was located in the previous thoracotomy site (Fig. 1A). Positron emission tomography (PET) revealed mild 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in the tumor, with a maximal standardized uptake value (SUV max ) of 1.9. There was no effusion or other lesions on CT and PET. She had no apparent elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; 1.9 ng/ml [normal range, <2.0 ng/ml]) compared to the preoperative CEA value of 1.3 ng/ml. CT-guided A Case of Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis Arising after Thoracotomy for Lung Cancer with a Review of the English and Japanese LiteratureTakeshi Mori, MD, PhD, Tatsuya Yamada, MD, Yasuomi Ohba, MD, PhD, Kentaro Yoshimoto, MD, PhD, Koei Ikeda, MD, PhD, Kenji Shiraishi, MD, PhD, and Makoto Suzuki, PhD, MD Chest wall desmoid-type fibromatoses are rare, locally aggressive tumors that occasionally arise from previous thoracotomy sites. Tumors arising from previous sites of thoracotomy to treat malignant disease should be discriminated from the pleural dissemination of the previous malignancy. In this study, we report a case of desmoid-type fibromatosis arising from a site for thoracotomy to treat lung cancer. Additionally we reviewed 15 reported cases of desmoid-type fibromatosis following thoracotomy and summarized their features. A 62-year-old woman was found to have a tumor on computed tomography (CT) at a 1-year routine checkup for lung cancer. The tumor (diameter, 3.4 cm) was located at the previous thoracotomy site. Positron emission tomography (PET) revealed mild 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in the tumor, with a maximal standardized uptake value (SUV max ) of 1.9. CT-guided biopsy revealed only fibrous tissue. Eighteen months after the biopsy, CT revealed apparent tumor growth, and a biopsy revealed the same histology observed previously. The tumor was removed and diagnosed as desmoid-type fibromatosis. Currently, the patient is alive without recurrence 4 years after desmoid surgery.

In the last 10 years, Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan has been widely adopted in thoracic oncology, showing high accuracy in staging and restaging. The aim of this review was to focus on the results of PET scan use in the evaluation of thoracic malignancies. The literature search was performed on January 2015 in PubMed and Google Academic. The search was restricted to publications in English, using in the same string the word "PET" with different thoracic tumors. From 3000 papers initially selected, the irrelavant articles eliminated and then approximately 100 manuscripts were fully analyzed. In conclusion, positron emmision tomography/ computed tomography (PET-CT) has established itself as an important step in the evaluation of patients with thoracic malignancies. Further evaluation and come into use of newer PET tracers and simultaneous Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with PET (PET/MR) imaging will offer additional options in thoracic oncology in future.
