Abstract
Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TSGCT) is a destructive benign tumor-like proliferative disease. Diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumorrarely arises from the axial skeleton. We report a case of image findings of D-TSGCT in the thoracic vertebra. On fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) image, it presented a lytic bone destruction of 6th thoracic vertebra, vertebral processes as well as adjacent sixth rib with intense 18F-FDG uptake. Our case hints another unusual D-TSGCT image characteristic, which should be considered as a differential diagnosis when we interpret similar sign on 18F-FDG PET/CT.
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.
