Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation (SANT) is a rare benign vascular tumor of spleen. It consists of multiple angiomatoid nodules surrounded by dense fibrous tissue that often coalesces centrally to form a scar, which is considered to be a characteristic feature. These are usually asymptomatic and incidentally detected on imaging for other underlying pathology. SANTs can be 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) avid on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and thus can lead to false positive finding in oncological patients.
硬化性血管瘤样结节性转化(SANT)是一种罕见的脾脏良性血管肿瘤。它由多个血管瘤样结节组成,周围有致密的纤维组织,这些纤维组织常向中心融合形成瘢痕,这被认为是其特征性表现。这些病变通常无症状,在因其他潜在病理情况进行影像学检查时偶然发现。SANT在正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)上可表现为18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(18F-FDG)摄取增高,因此可在肿瘤患者中导致假阳性结果。
