title: Widespread Amyloidosis Around Major Joints on 18F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: A 62-year-old woman had an elevated serum creatinine. Physical examination detected a left inguinal mass, suggestive of possible malignancy. An F-FDG PET/CT was performed to evaluate the nature of the mass. The images showed multiple juxta-articular foci of increased activity in all extremities. Amyloidosis was confirmed histopathologically following the biopsy.
