- Abstract
Abstract: A 76-year-old woman was diagnosed breast carcinoma and treated with breast-conserving surgery and chemoradiotherapy. A year after the treatment completion, restaging 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan detected no any pathological finding. However, due to a lesion detected during physical examination on the right thoracic wall adjacent to the primary tumor bed, 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging was performed 9 months later for restaging. Highly intense FDG uptake was detected in an approximately 1-cm nodular lesion, and metastasis was reported as suspicious, and histopathological confirmation was recommended. Excision was performed and pathological examination diagnosed benign cellular fibrous histiocytoma., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared., (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
