Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 34-year-old man, who presented with a 10-month history of an enlarging right ankle mass histologically proven to be a round cell/myxoid liposarcoma, was referred for an F-18 FDG PET/CT scan, which showed a heterogenous FDG-positive primary in the ankle and a 1.2-cm, FDG-negative, retroperitoneal lipid-attenuating nodule. On a follow-up PET/CT scan done 1 year later, the retroperitoneal nodules had grown into an 11-cm mass, which became FDG-positive and was subsequently histologically confirmed to be a liposarcoma metastasis. We present the imaging characteristics of this highly unusual case and a possible histologic explanation for the false-negative retroperitoneal metastasis on the staging PET/CT scan.
