Abstrakt: Abstract: We present a case of a 68-year-old woman undergoing 18F-choline PET/CT due to a history of hepatocellular cancer treated with multimodal therapies and with a rapid increase in α-fetoprotein. 18F-Choline PET/CT showed multiple uptakes in the skeletal muscles compatible with the recurrence of disease. The interpretation of 18F-choline PET/CT in this cancer should be careful and discussed in a multidisciplinary team.
