FDG PET/CT in Initial Staging of Adult Soft-Tissue Sarcoma

Figure 4

True positive in this 58-year-old patient with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the right thigh (long arrow). The FDG-PET scan demonstrated two additional hypermetabolic lesions in the left calf (short arrow). These were subsequently resected and proven to be synchronous peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Four years later, the patient is in remission and is doing well.
