Rim 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake of hepatic cavernous hemangioma on positron emission tomography/computed tomography: A case report

Figure 1 Abdominal computed tomography pre-operation showed a slightly low intensity mass of 10. 0 cm × 7.0 cm (orange arrow) was seen in the left liver lobe on plain computed tomography with peripheral nodular enhancement in the arterial phase and gradual fill-in in the delayed phase. A: Plain computed tomography; B: The arterial phase; C: The delayed phase.

Figure 2 ¹⁸F-Fluordesoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography pre-operation showed the liver lesion (orange arrow) with peripheral fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation (SUVmax 3. 5) higher than that of the normal liver parenchyma (SUVmax 1.6) surrounds a hypoactive area. A: Whole body ¹⁸F-Fluordesoxyglucose positron emission tomography; B and E: Axial positron emission tomography; C and F: Computed tomography; D and G: Combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography slices.

Figure 3 The result of histopathological examination. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining showed numerous dilated blood vessels adjacent to hepatocytes with fatty cell (orange arrow). A: Under low magnification (× 40); B: Under high magnification (× 100).
