Bilateral Silicone Granulomas Mimicking Breast Cancer Recurrence on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

abstract：:Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a life-threatening leiomyoma that grows into the extrauterine venous system. A high recurrence rate has been reported in reproductive-age women who undergo only tumor excision to preserve fertility. Precise diagnosis of tumor extension is essential to achieve complete resection. A 24-year...
