A rare case of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma involving multiple bones

Clin Nucl Med. 2013 Jul;38(7):582-5. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0b013e31828e9a68.

Abstract

A 36-year-old female patient with recurrent fever and abdominal pain for 20 days underwent a whole-body FDG PET/CT to detect the potential source of the fever. The images showed intense FDG uptake in multiple bones. Eventually, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma was diagnosed following the biopsy from the lesion in the left iliac bone.
