title: Bone infarct-associated sarcoma detected on FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Secondary sarcomas arising on the background of a bone infarct are extremely uncommon. Based on the knowledge of classic imaging patterns, however, lesions like bone infarcts can be recognized during positron emission tomography/computed tomography studies, which are now being performed increasingly in cancer patients. We demonstrate the detection of this rare entity on positron emission tomography/computed tomography and its correlation on magnetic resonance imaging in a 56-year-old man with asymptomatic multifocal osteonecrosis secondary to steroid treatment for polymyositis.
