¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT findings of intermediate bone tumors of the spine.

ABSTRACT: Intermediate bone tumor has a certain risk of invasion and metastasis, but its invasion degree and metastasis probability are much lower than malignant bone tumor. The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT findings in patients with spinal intermediate tumors. A total of 49 patients with spinal intermediate tumors consisting of 22 giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), 11 osteoblastoma, 10 Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and 6 epithelioid hemangioma were subjected to evaluation using ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT. Factors analyzed included lesion location, size, epicenter of the lesions (vertebral/posterior elements), eccentric expansile osteolysis, cortical integrity, residual bone trabeculae/spine/calcification, sclerotic rim, vertebral compression, so
