Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A 43-year-old woman with breast cancer underwent ^99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy for preoperative workup. An abnormal lesion with increased uptake was found in the right humeral shaft, and ¹⁸F-NaF bone PET/CT was performed for clarification. There was high uptake of ¹⁸F-NaF without cortical bone disruption in the right humeral shaft, corresponding to the site on bone scintigraphy. Upper arm MRI was performed subsequently, and metastasis was suggested as a differential diagnosis. However, this lesion was pathologically diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia after curettage surgery.</p> </sec> </abstract>
