Abstract

We report radiological findings of ultrasonography (US), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for a rare case of skeletal muscle metastasis from an underlying known malignant phyllodes tumor. To our knowledge, there has been no previous published report of imaging findings of skeletal muscle metastasis from a sarcoma such as malignant phyllodes tumor.
