What Do PET/CT Scan Findings After Chemotherapy For Synovial Sarcoma Suggest?
In 2009 I was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, the tumor was surgicaly removed
and i took high dose of chemotherapy then radiotherapy, a year passed now since
I finished all the therapies. my pet/ct scan came with these finidings:
Increased FDG uptake within the bone marrow of right femoral mid shaft
corresponding to intramedullary fat replacement with SUVmax. 4.6.
The opinion written is: metabolically active right femoral mid shaft marrow
lesion, likely neoplastic "possible local infiltration at the site of primary
neoplasm" for correlation with histopathology.

you didnt mention the site of primary before. If there is strong suspicion of cancer recurrence biopsy from the site would give definite answer
