Abstract
4Department of Radiology, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0017 Hyogo, Japan. typical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) is a rare polypoid tumor of the uterus composed of atypical endometrial glands surrounded by smooth muscle [1]. It generally occurs in women of reproductive age who have abnormal genital bleeding. Although it is considered to be benign, adenocarcinoma is occasionally found in resected specimens [2]. MRI findings have been reported in a few cases of APA [3]. However, to the best of our knowledge, the 18F-FDG PET appearance of APA has not been reported. Here we describe a case of APA identified on 18F-FDG PET combined with MRI in which malignancy could not be ruled out.
