18F-FDG PET/CT in cutaneous calcinosis disease

Chaymae Bensaid, Salah Nabih Oueriagli, Abderrahim Doudouh.


Abstract
A 18F-FDG PET/CT scan was conducted to evaluate the extent of recently diagnosed breast carcinoma in a 59-year-old patient. This was done following inconclusive results from a CT scan and bone scan, primarily due to extensive skin calcinosis complicating dermatomyositis. The PET/CT scan identified abnormal metabolic activity in the right breast and hypermetabolic lymph nodes. Interestingly, no other abnormal metabolic foci were found elsewhere in the body, despite discreetly diffuse hypermetabolic subcutaneous calcifications in the trunk and limbs. This underscores the diagnostic effectiveness of 18F-FDG PET/CT in such challenging cases.

Key words: Calcinosis, Breast carcinoma, TEP-FDG, Dermatomyositis
