Femoral epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with cervical lymph node metastasis is rare. We report the FDG PET/CT findings of cervical lymph node metastasis from left femoral epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in a 50-year-old woman with painless enlargement of the left cervical lymph nodes as the initial presentation. Ultrasound and MRI revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the left cervical sheath area. PET/CT showed strong radioactive uptake in the left cervical lymph nodes, and there was additional lesion with increased FDG uptake in the left femur, which was later confirmed as cervical lymph nodes metastasis from left femoral epithelioid hemangioendothelioma by pathological examination.
