Retiform hemangioendothelioma (RH) is a rare, intermediate-grade vascular tumor that often arises in the trunk and extremities. The clinical and radiological features of RH remain largely unknown.
A male patient in his 70s presented with shortness of breath on exertion, and computed tomography incidentally revealed a tumor in his right breast. Positron emission tomography (PET) revealed moderate F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the tumor. RH was observed in the resected specimens. Three months after surgery, the patient was free of local recurrence and distant metastasis.
RH was found in the male breast and was accompanied by FDG uptake on PET. PET may be useful in diagnosing RH. Although metastasis is rare in RH, local recurrence may occur, and careful follow-up is required.
网状血管内皮瘤(RH)是一种罕见的中度恶性血管肿瘤,常发生于躯干和四肢。RH的临床和放射学特征在很大程度上仍不为人知。
一名70多岁的男性患者因劳力性呼吸困难就诊,计算机断层扫描偶然发现其右乳有一个肿瘤。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)显示肿瘤内有中度氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)摄取。在切除的标本中观察到RH。术后三个月,患者无局部复发和远处转移。
在男性乳房中发现了RH,且PET显示有FDG摄取。PET可能有助于诊断RH。虽然RH转移罕见,但可能发生局部复发,需要仔细随访。
