Abstract

Abstract: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with borderline malignancy and is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood. It most commonly affects cutaneous tissues, whereas the subtype with only primary bone involvement is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma involving the sacrum in a 37-year-old woman, with intense 18 F-FDG accumulation in the lytic lesion on PET/CT. This case indicates that Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with the primary bone involvement should be taken into consideration as a rare differential diagnosis for lytic lesions with increased 18 F-FDG uptake on PET/CT.
