title: 18F-FDG PET/CT in a seldom case of primary duodenal dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with lung and skeletal metastases.
abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma tumor that arises from the dermis of the skin. Sarcomas of the intestines are rare, and a DFSP arising from the small intestine is a very rare occurrence. Here we present F-FDG PET/CT imaging findings of a 60-year-old man with DFSP in the duodenum with metastases to the lung, mesentery, and skeleton.
