Abstract:The primary angiosarcoma of bone is rare. It typically occurs in tubular bones, pelvis, and trunk. However, its occurrence in the lumbar pedicle, and transverse process is infrequent. Thus, we present the imaging findings of FDG PET/CT in a rare case of primary angiosarcoma of lumbar pedicle and transverse process. It presented as solitary osteolytic bone destruction in the right pedicle and transverse process of L4 with intense FDG uptake. This case added knowledge of another rare occurrence site of primary a… Show more
