A giant, FDG-avid keloid was discovered in a patient suspected of cancer. This finding highlights that benign keloids can mimic malignancy on PET/CT scans.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Medicine
- Oncology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Keloids are benign fibroproliferative growths resulting from an exaggerated wound healing response.
- Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes can present with unexplained progressive limb weakness, often prompting investigation for underlying malignancy.
