Unusual sites of metastatic recurrence of osteosarcoma detected on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography

Indian J Nucl Med. 2015 Apr-Jun;30(2):171-3. doi: 10.4103/0972-3919.152986.

Abstract

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common nonhematolymphoid primary bone malignancy characterized by osteoid or new bone formation. Lungs and bones are the most common sites of metastases. We report a case where unusual sites of the soft tissue recurrence from OS were detected on restaging fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan done post 6 years of disease free interval.

Keywords: Osteosarcoma; fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose; positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
