Chest wall keloids, a type of pathological scar, can be incidentally found on 18F-piflufolastat PET/CT scans. This case highlights their appearance during prostate cancer recurrence evaluation, mimicking other skin conditions.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Oncology
Background:
- Keloids are characterized by excessive collagen and extracellular matrix production, extending beyond wound borders.
- While primarily a dermatological issue, keloids can present incidentally in various imaging modalities.
- Differentiating keloids from other skin conditions on imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
