Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a borderline tumor usually affecting the the children or young adults. 18F-Fluorodexoyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) investigations of pulmonary AFH are rare, and there are currently no reports of intense FDG uptake in AFH.
CASE REPORT: We report an AFH that occurred in the lung of a 57-year-old woman. She presented with paroxysmal cough and occasional bloodshot sputum. 18FFDG PET/CT revealed a right parahilar nodule with intense FDG-avidity, middle lobe atelectasis, and several bilateral axillary lymph nodes with mild hypermetabolic activity. This patient underwent a right middle lobe lobectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopy. Histopathologically, the diagnosis was pulmonary AFH. She had an uneventful postoperative course, and the bilateral axillary lymph nodes regressed during postoperative follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical presentation and image findings of patients with primary pulmonary AFH may be potential diagnosis pitfalls. The diagnosis of lymph nodes or distant metastases should be approached with caution. To avoid misdiagnosis, biopsy with histological examination and immunohistochemichal staining should be performed as early as possible.
