Title: (18)F-FDG PET/CT helps differentiate peripheral nerve myeloid sarcoma from a presumed benign nerve sheath tumor
Abstract: A 21-year-old man with NF1 (neurofibromatosis type 1) mutation and in remission from acute myeloid leukemia presented with a painless mass in the left upper limb. MRI showed a soft-tissue mass involving the ulnar nerve presumed to be a nerve sheath tumor. 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed demonstrating high FDG avidity in the mass, prompting a biopsy. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the biopsy sample demonstrated myeloid sarcoma of the ulnar nerve. This case highlights the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in raising the suspicion of malignancy in otherwise presumably benign lesions of the nerve. © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
