18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in a Rare Case of Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma – A Diagnostic Challenge

Our case highlights the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings in a rare case of biopsy-proven epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a 66-year-old woman with multi-organ involvement (lung, liver, and bone) who was subsequently treat...

description Our case highlights the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings in a rare case of biopsy-proven epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a 66-year-old woman with multi-organ involvement (lung, liver, and bone) who was subsequently treated with palliative radiation therapy and oral pazopanib. Furthermore, follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT findings are detailed. EHE is a rare malignant vascular neoplasm (<1% of all vascular tumors) with an epithelioid and histiocytoid appearance arising from the vascular endothelial and preendothelial cells.
