Pigmented villous nodular synovitis mimicking metastatic melanoma on PET-CT

摘要

INTRODUCTIONPositron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET-CT) is routinely utilized in the management of melanoma, either as a part of staging workup or during surveillance. Since melanomas have a high metastatic potential, any FDG avid lesion is considered suspicious for recurrence. We report a case of a FDG avid lesion, diagnosed during melanoma surveillance, its management and review of literature.
