Abstract
Abstract: Myoepithelial carcinoma of bone is uncommon. We presented the imaging features of myoepithelial carcinoma of the left femur in a 61-year-old man on 18 F-FDG PET/CT. Lytic bone destruction and the formation of a slightly low-density soft tissue mass extending to adjacent muscles with intense and circular FDG uptake were found on 18 F-FDG PET/CT. Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of myoepithelial carcinoma.
