Abstract
A 42-year-old woman presented with local recurrence and distant lung and liver metastases 7 years after resection of a primary intracranial haemangiopericytoma. Whole-body (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scan showed no increased uptake in local recurrence or distant metastases except for a focus of increased FDG uptake within a hepatic metastasis. The hypermetabolic area correlated with an intratumoral hypoenhancing area on the CT scan. PET-CT scan may be useful to allow further understanding of the tumour.
