Abstract:
A case series of 3 different patients showing very rare costoclavicular ligament increased SUV uptake on PET\CT with history of different types of cancer. This finding has not been described before especially that it corresponds to benign degenerative rather than sinister process. This is supported by low SUV and stability over months of follow up. Furthermore, even in degenerative joint diseases we have found very rare cases of such uptake. Experienced radiologists need to be always involved in the multidisciplinary team approach and be very cautious when approaching such findings to avoid any unnecessary medical interventions.
