PET-CT study for a 15-year-old male child complaining rapidly growing anterior chest wall mass that was pathologically proved to be HL, nodular sclerosis type. To the left: Initial study shows metabolically active FDG-avid osseous infiltrates at manubrium sterni and DV7. To the right: Interim PET-CT study shows complete disappearance of DV7 lesion with a still residual lesion at sternum with SUVmax ~ 2.2. The interpretation of this study using DS showing a positive result score 4 as sternal activity is higher than that of liver, while rDS = 1.22 which is less than the cutoff point (liver max 1.8). The patient was free till the last follow-up (36 months)
