A 71-year-old female patient with a known history of signet-ring cell carcinoma presented with diffuse bone pain and anemic symptoms. An F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography study revealed diffuse heterogeneous hypermetabolic sclerotic lesions in the axial and proximal appendicular skeleton.
