Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor of Diffuse Type Mimicking Bony Metastasis Detected on F-18 FDG PET/CT

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor of Diffuse Type Mimicking Bony Metastasis Detected on F-18 FDG PET/CT Tenosynovial giant cell tumor of diffuse type (TGCT-D) is a locally aggressive neoplasm that arises in the tendon sheath, bursa, or synovium. It typically involves the appendicular skeleton and rarely involves the axial skeleton. Because there are no specific findings of TGCT-D based on imaging studies or clinical symptoms, TGCT-D can be confused with other primary or metastatic bone tumors. We report findings of TGCT-D involving the T9 vertebra incidentally detected on F-18 FDG PET/CT in a patient with papillary thyroid cancer. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Springer Journals

Abstract

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor of diffuse type (TGCT-D) is a locally aggressive neoplasm that arises in the tendon sheath, bursa, or synovium. It typically involves the appendicular skeleton and rarely involves the axial skeleton. Because there are no specific findings of TGCT-D based on imaging studies or clinical symptoms, TGCT-D can be confused with other primary or metastatic bone tumors. We report findings of TGCT-D involving the T9 vertebra incidentally detected on F-18 FDG PET/CT in a patient with papillary thyroid cancer.
