False Positive Result of Dual Phase 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging in a Patient with Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis

黃色肉芽腫性膽囊炎之雙相氟-18-去氧葡萄糖正子斷層造影:偽陽性病例報告

摘要


一位61歲男性病患因爲右上腹部疼痛與肝功能指數升高至本院求診。腹部斷層掃描顯示-腫瘤位於肝臟左葉並侵犯鄰近的肝臟與腹膜,伴隨腫瘤指數CA19-9升高,因此懷疑此腫瘤有可能是膽囊癌。雙相氟-18-去氧葡萄糖正子斷層造影顯示此腫瘤有異常之FDG攝取,第一次標準攝取值(SUV)爲11.2,第斗次標率攝取值(SUV)稍微增高爲11.7,故判讀為惡性腫瘤。隨後此病患接受開刀治療,病理報告顯示此腫瘤是黃色肉芽腫性膽囊炎。黃色肉芽腫性膽囊炎是一種少見的破壞性膽囊發炎病變,是膽囊慢性炎症的特殊類型,與惡性膽囊癌極爲相似,但鮮少侵犯鄰近器官,此病變只能經病理檢查後才能確定診斷。這個個案呈現罕見黃色肉芽腫性膽囊炎伴隨肝臟、腹膜與橫結腸之侵犯,且造成偽陽性氟-18-去氟葡萄糖正子斷層造影。

A 61-year-old man visited our hospital due to a history of right upper abdominal pain and abnormally elevated liver function test. An abdominal CT scan showed a tumor in the segment 4 of liver. Either gall bladder cancer with invasion to liver and peritoneum or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was impressed. According to the imaging findings and elevated CA 19-9 level (43.7 U/mL), gallbladder cancer was considered first. Dual phase fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) combined positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed abnormal metabolic activity in the lesion with a high maximal standardized uptake value of 11.2 in early scan and slightly increased to 11.7 in delayed scan. The result of PET/CT was compatible with gallbladder cancer. He received operation and was diagnosed by histopathological examination as having a xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). XGC is a destructive inflammatory disease of the gallbladder, mimicking an advanced gallbladder carcinoma and rarely involving adjacent organs. The diagnosis is usually possible only after pathological examination. We reported a case of XCG with uncommon pattern of invading liver, omentum and transverse colon and caused false positive results on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging. Therefore, 18F-FDG PET/CT results should be interpreted with caution in differentiating a benign inflammatory process from malignant abnormalities, especially in regions with a high probability of granulomatous lesion.
