Myofibroma of the Left Supraspinous Muscle on 18F-FDG PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Apr;41(4):317-8. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000000980.

Abstract

Myofibroma of the muscle is extremely rare. This report describes a 46-year-old man with myofibroma of the left supraspinous muscle on 18F-FDG PET/CT and includes MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT showed abnormal tracer uptakes in the left supraspinous muscle, which was subsequently confirmed as myofibroma by histopathology.
