Abstract

Primary bone lipogranuloma is an extremely rare disease associated with reactive inflammatory granulomatous reaction associated with exogenous or endogenous lipids. Herein, we report a case of bone lipogranuloma with intense 18F-FDG uptake, which mimics metastatic disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT in a patient with breast cancer.
