Pitfalls in Oncology: Osteoblastic Response Mimicking Bone Progression during Ceritinib Treatment in ALK-Rearranged NSCLC Francesco Gelsomino, MD, Valentina Ambrosini, MD, PhD, Barbara Melotti, MD, Francesca Sperandi, MD, Andrea Ardizzoni, MD Journal of Thoracic Oncology Volume 11, Issue 8, Pages e99-e101 (August 2016) DOI: /j.jtho Copyright © 2016 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Low-dose computed tomography (CT) (A and B) and fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography/CT fused (C and D) transaxial images of a patient studied before (A and C) and after (B and D) treatment. Multiple focal areas of increased tracer uptake (right and left ilium) without corresponding CT abnormalities show metabolic normalization after treatment and appearance of focal hyperdense lesions on the corresponding CT images.

Figure 2 Low-dose computed tomography (CT) (A and B) and fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography/CT fused (C and D) transaxial images of a patient studied before (A and C) and after (B and D) treatment. A focal area of increased tracer uptake at the lumbar level without corresponding CT abnormalities shows metabolic normalization after treatment and appearance of focal hyperdense lesions on the corresponding CT images.

Figure 3 Low-dose computed tomography (CT) (A and B) and fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography/CT fused (C and D) transaxial images of a patient studied before (A and C) and after (B and D) treatment. An hypermetabolic area at the L3 level showed metabolic normalization at positron emission tomography/CT after treatment, whereas CT revealed an increase in lesion dimensions.
