Radiologic Findings that Mimic Malignancy

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, Nottingham City Hospital, Hucknall Rd., Nottingham, UK NG5 1PB.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe selected variant anatomy, benign pathology, and posttreatment appearances that may be incorrectly attributed to malignancy at cancer investigation.

CONCLUSION. Radiologists involved in cancer staging should be aware of benign imaging appearances that simulate malignancy. Failure to correctly identify these findings as such may lead to unnecessary patient anxiety, incorrect tumor staging, and inappropriate treatment.

Keywords: benign • bone scintigraphy • cancer investigation • CT • malignancy • MRI • radiologic staging
