The actual role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in evaluating primary brain lymphoma is still an open issue. Brain lymphoma usually show elevated 18F-FDG uptake, often higher than other brain tumors or inflammatory processes, but the metabolic behavior of this lymphoma is not still understood.

Lipoma, a common soft tissue tumor composed of mature adipose tissues, can occur in any part of the body with fat. Accounting for 8.4% of primary heart tumors [1], the lipoma in the heart is rare, and the most common sites are the right atrium, left ventricle, and pericardium [2,3].
