| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Collateral circulation is often secondary to a regional thrombosis. This phenomenon can lead to the detection of misleading bone lesions on imaging and is a well-known source of false-positives. Here, we present 2 different tracers PET/CT images, 18 F-FDG and 18 F-choline, with collateral circulation but without obvious thrombosis. Both cases displayed bone uptake, which mimicked metastasis. However, clinical follow-up ruled out metastasis and revealed false-positive bone lesions related to collateral circulation, even in the lack of acute or chronic underlying thrombotic processes. Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared. (Copyright © 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.) |
