Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography of soft tissue tumours: Is a non-invasive determination of biological activity possible?

Since musculoskeletal tumours comprise a large heterogeneous group of entities with different biological behaviour, clinical diagnosis of such lesions can be very difficult. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the usefulness of 2-[F-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission to...

description Since musculoskeletal tumours comprise a large heterogeneous group of entities with different biological behaviour, clinical diagnosis of such lesions can be very difficult. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the usefulness of 2-[F-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the non-invasive evaluation of soft tissue tumours. One hundred and two patients with suspected soft tissue neoplasms were investigated by FDG-PET. The uptake of FDG was evaluated semiquantitatively by determining the tumour to background ratio (TBR). All patients underwent biopsy, resulting in the histological detection of 39 high-grade sarcomas, 16 intermediate-grade sarcomas, 11 low-grade sarcomas, 25 benign tumours, 10 tumour-like lesions such as spontaneous myositis ossificans (n = 6) and one non-Hodgkin lymphoma. All lesions except for two lipomas disclosed an increased FDG uptake. Sarcomas showed significantly higher TBR values than latent or active benign lesions (P

From our data there are three main conclusions: (1) Except for patients with pseudotumoral myositis ossificans, lesions with a TBR &gt;3 were sarcomas (91.7%) or aggressive benign tumours (8.3%). (2) Tumours with a TBR &lt;1.5 were latent or active benign lesions, exclusively. (3) The group with intermediate TBR values (&lt;3 and &gt;1. 5) comprised primarily latent or active benign lesions, but also four aggressive benign tumours and two low-grade sarcomas.
