Nonossifying fibroma can mimic residual lymphoma in FDG PET: additional value of combined PET/CT.

A 12-year-old girl was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and underwent conventional cross-sectional imaging for initial staging. Chemotherapy was given according to standard pediatric protocols. At the end of therapy, an F-18 FDG PET/CT examination was performed to evaluate the therapeutic response. The scan demonstrated focal uptake of FDG in the right distal femur and residual lymphoma was taken into consideration. However, findings in the coregistered CT scan were consistent with nonossfiying fibroma, a common benign skeletal lesion. Combined PET/CT imaging can be helpful to identify benign bone lesions mimicking metastatic or residual disease in F-18 FDG PET as illustrated by this case.
