1From the Nuclear Medicine Department.
A 57-year-old woman with a history of previous bilateral breast polyacrylamide hydrogel injection presented for 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to investigate recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Incidental symmetrical FDG-positive accumulation was noted in the bilateral axillae tracking between the interpectoral planes. The finding is consistent with a chronic inflammatory process secondary to the migration of the polyacrylamide hydrogel injections.
