Abstract

Amyloidosis associated with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is extremely rare. We here present the 18F-FDG PET/CT images of a 48-year-old male patient with multifocal skeletal involvement of LCH. In addition, he had a left lung upper lobe 18F-FDG avid mass that was misinterpreted as pulmonary involvement of LCH on PET/CT. Biopsy from the mass showed amyloidosis. Therefore, amyloidosis should be kept as a differential for 18F-FDG pulmonary avid nodule.
