Abstract
The role of FDG-PET in the diagnosis of bone metastases remains unsettled, although it is hoped that PET scans will add specificity to or replace bone scintigraphy. We report a case in which an acute traumatic fracture presented with a level of uptake generally considered indicative of neoplasm. It is important to recognize that increased FDG-PET activity in bone should not be accepted as definitive evidence of metastatic disease.Entities:
