Metastatic Adamantinoma of the Femur on FDG PET/CT: Atypical Presentation of a Rare Disease

Clin Nucl Med. 2021 Jul 1;46(7):e365-e367. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003508.

Abstract

Adamantinomas are rare malignant primary bone tumors, which typically arise in young patients, are generally low-grade tumors, and classically arise from the anterior tibial diaphysis. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who underwent repeat imaging with FDG PET for a pathologically proven case of femoral adamantinoma who experienced a relatively rapid development of metastatic disease with an atypical distribution of lesions.
