Hypoxia is important in F-18 FDG accumulation in thecoma-fibroma tumors on F-18 FDG PET/CT scans

Several studies have noted benign thecoma-fibroma tumors with positive F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation mimicking malignant ovarian tumors following F-18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET). The present study analyzed four cases with false-positive F-18 FDG PET/computed tomography (CT)...
