Özet
A 13-year-old male patient presented with right leg pain and walking difficulty. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed a softtissue lesion between muscle groups in the anterior half of the right thigh. The excisional biopsy result ended in an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). The18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan showed hypermetabolism in the multifocal soft tissue lesion and also confirmed that no other distant foci were present. A three-phase Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate study of the region showed heterogeneously increased vascularity within the region. We described an unusual case of IMT in a pediatric patient and the importance of PET/CT scanning to delineate the lesion.
