Eosinophilic abscess of rib on 18F-FDG PET/CT: A mimic of bone tumor.
A 45-year-old man had right chest and back pain for 15+ days without any cause, each lasting 3-10 minutes, and sometimes it could radiate to the right shoulder. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed bony destruction in the dorsal segment of the 4th rib on the right. Metastatic disease was suspected and for this reason, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT was performed. The images demonstrated increased 18F-FDG activity in the dorsal segment of the 4th rib on the right with osteolytic bony destruction. Postsurgical pathological examination showed aneosinophilic abscess (EA).
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
