18F-fluoride PET/CT aspect of an unusual case of Erdheim-Chester disease with histologic features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
[erdheim-chester disease]
We
report
the
case
of
a
63
-
year
-old
woman
with
Erdheim-
Chester
disease
(
ECD
)
and
histologic
features
of
Langerhans
cell
histiocytosis
,
both
extremely
rare
histiocytic
proliferations
responsible
of
skeletal
and
extraskeletal
involvement
.
18
F-Fluoride
PET
/
CT
revealed
multiple
intense
focal
uptake
scattered
throughout
the
skeleton
.
We
also
performed
an
18
F-FDG
PET
/
CT
which
point
out
visceral
and
vascular
involvement
.
This
case
illustrates
the
interest
of
PET
/
CT
in
ECD
,
a
rare
polymorphus
and
systemic
disease
,
and
in
our
knowledge
,
this
is
the
first
reported
illustration
of
18
F-
fluoride
PET
/
CT
findings
in
this
pathology
.
