ABSTRACT
Leiomyomas are prevalent benign smooth muscle tumors in the uterus, displaying variable degrees of FDG uptake on PET/CT. The glucose metabolism intensity of those lesions relies on biologic features and markedly increased FDG accumulation is more typically related to malignant diseases, as in the case of leiomyosarcomas. Notwithstanding that uterine fibroids typically exhibit mild to moderate FDG uptake, in this article we report a case of unexpectedly intense hypermetabolism of a benign uterine leiomyoma on a PET/CT scan performed for initial staging of a breast cancer patient.
