肋骨血管瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，通常很难与恶性骨肿瘤区分。肋骨血管瘤在CT上常表现为骨质破坏，伴有轻微的皮质破坏、骨外病变和骨质膨胀。我们报告的情况下，68岁的男子与非典型肋骨血管瘤轻微皮质破坏，没有扩大骨。肿瘤在正电子发射断层扫描（PET）/CT上显示出相对较高的18 FDG摄取。肋骨血管瘤常表现出较高的18FDG摄取。PET/CT可能无法提供有用的信息来区分肋骨血管瘤和恶性肿瘤。如果肿瘤经活检诊断为肋骨血管瘤，密切观察而不手术切除可能是可行的。
Hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign tumor that is often difficult to distinguish from malignant bone tumors. Rib hemangioma often shows bony disruption with a slight cortical disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone on computed tomography (CT). We report the case of a 68-year-old man with atypical rib hemangioma with a slight cortical disruption and no expanded bone. The tumor showed relatively high 18FDG-uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Rib hemangioma often shows higher 18FDG-uptake. PET/CT may not provide useful information for distinguishing rib hemangioma from a malignant tumor. Close observation without surgical resection may be feasible if the tumor is diagnosed as a rib hemangioma by biopsy.
