Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Osteosarcoma is usually 18 F-FDG–avid. Here we report a case of an 18-year-old young man with widespread osteoblastic and slight osteolytic changes, which had diffusely increased 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in the osseous lesions, whereas the 18 F-FDG PET/CT was unrevealing. The final diagnosis is synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma based on the pathological, clinical, and imaging features.
