Fig. 1
FDG-PET demonstrates markedly increased FDG uptake in the large soft tissue mass in the right lower abdomen and pelvis that is associated with lytic permeative destruction of the right iliac bone. Diffuse bone marrow uptake with more focal increased FDG uptake in several bones involving in the bone marrow throughout the skeleton, with more focal FDG uptake in the L3 and L4 vertebral bodies, left proximal femur, right proximal humerus, as well as left proximal humerus, and right scapula. There is mild focused increased FDG uptake in the right seventh rib anteriorly.

FDG-PET/CT demonstrates markedly increased FDG uptake in the large soft tissue mass in the right lower abdomen and pelvis that is associated with lytic permeative destruction of the right iliac bone.

Fig. 3
FDG-PET/CT demonstrates markedly increased FDG uptake in the large soft tissue mass in the right lower abdomen and pelvis that is associated with lytic permeative destruction of the right iliac bone.

Fig. 4
Bone scan revearls hazy uptake seen overlying essentially the entire right iliac bone. Decreased uptake in region of the right sacroiliac joint when compared to the left sacroiliac joint. Abnormal uptake in the right acetabular region.Focus of uptake within the right anterolateral 7th rib. A focus of decreased uptake seen within the superior aspect of the left iliac crest without corresponding CT abnormality concerning for possible osseous metastasis.
