Abstract

A 25 years old male patient with Hodgkin's disease, considered as complete remission, underwent $^{18}F$-FDG whole body PET/CT. $^{18}F$-FDG whule body PET/CT showed unexpected hypermetabolic nodule in left quadratus femoris muscle suggesting local recurrence. Subsequent MRI also revealed well-enhancing nodular lesion with intermediate and high signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI, respectively. The lesion was confirmed as nodular fasciitis by pathologic examination of the excited specimen.
