Abstract

We report CT, MR, and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging findings of a case of cellular neurothekeoma of the tongue, a rare benign soft-tissue tumor with neural differentiation, occurring in a 15-year-old girl. CT and MR imaging showed a well-defined, well-enhancing submucosal soft-tissue mass in the midline dorsal tongue. There was high FDG uptake on PET scans. Although imaging findings are rather nonspecific, neurothekeoma may be one of diagnostic inclusions of soft-tissue masses of the tongue in a young female patient.
