Presentation
History of liposarcoma. PET/CT for evaluation of metastatic disease.
Patient Data
On the CT, there are bilateral, ill-defined soft tissue masses in the subscapular region. On several slices, fat can be seen interposing between the soft tissue densities. On the PET portion of the exam, there is increased radiotracer (FDG) uptake (axial, coronal, MIP) associated with these masses.
Case Discussion
This is a highly suspected case of elastofibroma dorsi, as demonstrated by the bilateral, irregular masses in the subscapular region associated with FDG avidity. This was an incidental finding and did not cause the patient any discomfort.
