Abstract

Tendon xanthoma is very rare. We report FDG PET/CT findings of tendon xanthoma in a 33-year-old man. On FDG PET/CT image, it manifested as multiple symmetric nodules with an SUVmax of 9.37, located in the tendons of both elbows, knees and ankles. The final pathology supported a diagnosis of a tendon xanthoma.
