A patient with mixed cell Hodgkin lymphoma, who was suspected of having multifocal bone lesions on the PET/CT image. Targeted biopsy confirmed false-positive PET findings. a MIP image showed multifocal bone lesions. b and c Axial CT image, axial PET/CT fusion image, showed high 18F-FDG uptake within the right ilium (white arrow) and osteolytic destruction was observed within the corresponding hypermetabolic region (white arrow). d CT image showed the biopsy needle positioned within the right ilium lesion (arrow). e Histological examination combined with immunohistochemical result confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma with fibrosis
