Metastatic Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma in the Stomach: Imaging With 18F-FDG PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Feb;41(2):e123-4. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000000848.

Abstract

Metastatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in the stomach is extremely rare. We report a 73-year-old man with MFH in the left popliteal fossa that metastasized to the stomach. Whole-body F-FDG PET/CT showed abnormal tracer uptakes in the stomach, which was subsequently confirmed as metastatic MFH.
