18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Bilateral Diaphragmatic Crura: A Relatively Uncommon Benign Variant Noted in a Treated Case of Extraosseous Paraspinal Ewing's Sarcoma.

A toddler was diagnosed with extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma, primary large epidural paraspinal soft tissue in the lumbar region encasing the cord and neural foramen from D12-L1 to L4-L5. After eight cycles of induction chemotherapy with vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide alternating with etoposide and ifosfamide, 18 F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) scan confirmed no active disease. Later external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) at D10-L5 was completed. At 3 months follow-up, 18 F-FDG-PET/CT reconfirmed no residual/active disease; however, a new incidental finding of diffuse benign bilateral diaphragmatic 18 F-FDG uptake was noted in the clinically asymptomatic patient, which remained unexplained.
