Mind the Pitfall: Solitary Nodular Fasciitis Mimicking Extra-Nodal Manifestation of Hodgkin Lymphoma on [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG PET/CT
Abstract
We report a [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) scan of a 17-year-old male presenting increased focal glucose metabolism of a histologically proven solitary nodular fasciitis mimicking an extranodal manifestation of Hodgkin lymphoma. This interesting image should draw attention to considering nodular fasciitis as a possible pitfall in the staging of malignant diseases.
