Pericardial Solitary Fibrous Tumor on FDG PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Jan;44(1):85-87. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002345.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumor, which can occur in all parts of the body and is more frequently found in the visceral pleura, is a rare mesenchymal tissue-originating spindle cell tumor derived from CD34-positive dendriticmesenchymal cells, but it rarely occurs in the pericardium. We reported the FDG PET/CT findings of a pathologically confirmed benign pericardial solitary fibrous tumor in a 51-year-old woman.
