Abstract
Simple bone cyst (SBC) is very rare in adult ribs. The diagnosis basically relies on conventional radiography and occasionally on a. There has been no earlier publication on PET/CT diagnosis of SBC. We report a case of adult costal SBC diagnosed by positive $^{18}F$-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. Histology showed the FDG uptake to be associated with reactive woven bone formation and nonspecific chronic inflammation. Correlation of PET, CT, plain radiography and sonography are also described.
