Phosphoglyceride crystal deposition disease requiring differential diagnosis from malignant tumors and confirmed by Raman spectroscopy: A case report

Figure 2 ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. A and B: Scan image; C: A 50-mm mass with high fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake [maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) 34.19] is seen protruding toward the serosa at the greater curvature of the stomach. A 50-mm intraperitoneal mass compressing the stomach is observed at the site of the previous splenectomy; D: A nodule about 7 mm in size with high FDG uptake (SUVmax 11.29) is observed near the accessory spleen; E: The most cranial abdominal wall mass shows high FDG uptake (SUVmax: 37.71); F: The middle abdominal wall mass shows high FDG uptake (SUVmax: 37.71); G: The most caudal abdominal wall mass shows high FDG uptake (SUVmax: 37.71).
