A 54-year-old man, with previous history of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (HO) in muscles around the left hip following a spinal cord injury ten months earlier, was referred to our nuclear medicine center for an 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to rule out a spondylodiscitis.
