Clin Nucl Med. 2022 Jul 1;47(7):632-634. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000004120. Epub 2022 Apr 5.

Abstract

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma is a highly malignant but rare tumor within jaws. We reported the 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible in a 42-year-old man. 18F-FDG PET/CT identified a cystic lesion in the mandible with irregular annular uptake of 18F-FDG, which has been confirmed as primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma pathologically.
