Abstract

We report a case of multiple benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) lung nodules showing faint or non-avid uptake of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) (respective 1-hour early and 2-hour delayed maximum standardized uptake values; 1.3 or less and 1.2 or less) in a 50-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma at the age of 38 years. When multiple lung nodules show faint or non-avid FDG uptake in a patient with a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma, BML should be included in the differential diagnosis.

肺良性转移性平滑肌瘤的FDG-PET/CT表现。

我们报告一例多发性良性转移性平滑肌瘤(BML)肺结节显示F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)的微弱或非强烈摄取(分别为1小时早期和2小时延迟的最大标准化摄取值;1.3或更低，1.2或更低)，年龄为38岁，因子宫平滑肌瘤切除子宫的50岁女性。当因子宫平滑肌瘤而切除子宫的患者出现多发肺结节表现为微弱或不强烈的氟脱氧葡萄糖摄取时，应将BML纳入鉴别诊断。

期刊介绍： Under the editorial leadership of Professor Arnulf Skjennald MD and a distinguished editorial board, Acta Radiologica Open, formerly Acta Radiologica Short Reports, aims for the prompt publication of original case reports, short reports, review articles, pictorial reviews, research articles on diagnostic and interventional radiology, clinical radiology, experimental investigations in animals, and all other research related to imaging procedures. Acta Radiologica Open provides a complete update on all radiological specialties and technical utilities, as well as physiology and physics related to imaging, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, radionuclide and magnetic resonance imaging. Acta Radiologica Open publishes articles on diagnostic and interventional procedures in radiology based on all medical imaging techniques, as well as works in physiology and physics when related to radiology. The journal is an online-only, peer reviewed, open access journal.
