Uterine epithelioid angiosarcoma can have conventional imaging characteristics similar to those of other uterine tumors, such as leiomyoma, leiomyosarcomas or hemangioendothelioma. Uterine epithelioid angiosarcoma exhibiting increased fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) activity can be misdiagnosed. A 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with uterine epithelioid angiosarcoma underwent F-18 FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as a part of the pretreatment work up for surgery. F-18 FDG PET/CT showed an intense F-18 FDG uptake in the uterus in addition to increased F-18 FDG uptake at the paraaortic and aortocaval lymph nodes. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of intense F-18 FDG uptake in uterine epithelioid angiosarcoma in Korea.
子宫上皮样血管肉瘤可具有与其他子宫肿瘤（如平滑肌瘤、平滑肌肉瘤或血管内皮瘤）相似的传统影像学特征。表现出氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖（F-18 FDG）活性增加的子宫上皮样血管肉瘤可能会被误诊。一名61岁被诊断为子宫上皮样血管肉瘤的女性接受了F-18 FDG正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT），作为手术前预处理检查的一部分。F-18 FDG PET/CT显示子宫内F-18 FDG摄取强烈，此外腹主动脉旁和主动脉腔静脉淋巴结的F-18 FDG摄取也增加。据我们所知，这是韩国首例子宫上皮样血管肉瘤F-18 FDG摄取强烈的病例报告。
