Abstract

Histiocytic sarcoma is a tumor of the lymphohematopoietic system characterized by macrophage morphology and immunophenotype. Here, we report FDG PET/CT images of a 50-year-old man with coexisting histiocytic sarcoma of the liver and spleen. Images showed multiple enhanced uptake lesions of FDG in both the liver and spleen. Ultimately, histiocytic sarcoma was confirmed by the biopsy histopathology.
