We describe a rare case of primary pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma detected by F-FDG PET/CT. A 54-year-old female patient with history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma underwent F-FDG PET/CT for follow-up. PET/CT detected an area of increased F-FDG uptake corresponding to a 4-cm mass located in the inferior lobe of the left lung. Based on this PET/CT finding, the patient underwent left inferior pulmonary lobectomy. Histology demonstrated the presence of a pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma. Other sites of disease were excluded. In our case, F-FDG PET/CT has been useful in detecting and staging this rare primary pulmonary tumor.
我们描述了一例通过 F-FDG PET/CT 检测到的原发性肺上皮样血管肉瘤的罕见病例。一名 54 岁女性患者，有非霍奇金淋巴瘤病史，行 F-FDG PET/CT 随访。PET/CT 检测到左肺下叶一处 F-FDG 摄取增加的区域，对应一个 4 厘米大的肿块。基于这一 PET/CT 发现，患者接受了左肺下叶切除术。组织学显示存在肺上皮样血管肉瘤。排除了其他部位的疾病。在我们的病例中，FDG PET/CT 有助于检测和分期这种罕见的原发性肺肿瘤。
