These have not been clearly established and it is important to note that a significantly increased SUV (the highest SUVmax according to the literature consulted was 15.8) at the periphery of the lesion could be a diagnostic ‘trap’ simulating a soft-tissue sarcoma with haematoma formation or central necrosis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> In two of the cases presented, we observed a peripheral hypermetabolic component.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The clinical context and imaging tests usually guide the diagnosis and treatment.
