Diffuse-Type Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor of the Thoracic Spine: Appearance on FDG PET/CT
2019
: D-TGCT (diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor) is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovial membranes that usually occurs in the appendicular skeleton, especially large joints such as the knee, hip, and elbow. It rarely involves the spine. In this report, we describe a rare case of D-TGCT in the thoracic spine, which showed a lytic lesion with high FDG uptake. It can mimic metastases or neurogenic tumors and should be included in the differential diagnosis of spinal tumors.
