Abstract
We present the case of a 32-year-old man with a history of hypophosphatemia and multiple bone fractures, being evaluated at our center for a potential mesenchymal tumor. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT revealed a highly 68Ga-DOTATATE-avid lesion in the ethmoidal sinus extending to the nasal cavity. Following resection, histologic examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of "intraosseous hemangioma," a potential cause of false-positive finding of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging in patients being evaluated for occult malignancies, especially at the traumatic/fractured sites.
