Characteristics of elastofibroma dorsi on PET/CT imaging with (18)F-FDG
Abstract
Purpose: To assess the characteristics of 18F-FDG uptake in elastofibroma dorsi (EFD).
Methods: Seventeen patients with EFD were retrospectively studied.
Results: The mean±S.D. of SUV was 2.29±0.60 (range, 1.2-4.3), and the uptake were Grade 0 in 6, Grade 1 in 12, Grade 2 in 7, and Grade 3 in 1. There is no correlation between lesion volume, SUVmax, and computer tomography value. All EFD lesions showed soft tissue density with low or moderate diffused and homogeneous uptake of 18F-FDG.
Conclusions: Mild and moderate uptake of 18F-FDG is frequently observed in EFD, which should be known to avoid making wrong diagnosis.
Keywords: (18)F-FDG; Characteristics; Elastofibroma dorsi; PET/CT.
