Usefulness of 11C-methionine positron emission tomography for detecting intracranial ameloblastic carcinoma: A case report
Ameloblastic carcinoma, secondary type, is an extremely rare odontogenic malignant tumor. The present study reports the case of a 58-year-old male with ameloblastic carcinoma that extended into the intracranial space close to the internal carotid artery. Surgical excision was performed, as headaches were being caused via compression by the mass. Small remnants of the tumor remained surrounding ...
متن کاملSimultaneous 11C-Methionine Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Suspected Primary Brain Tumors
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of integrated 11C- methionine PET/MRI for suspected primary brain tumors, in comparison to MRI alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight consecutive patients with suspected primary brain tumor were prospectively enrolled for an integrated 11C-methionine PET/MRI. Two neuro-radiologists separately evaluated the MRI alone ...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of 1p/19q deletion in oligodendroglial tumours with 11C-methionine positron emission tomography
OBJECTIVE Chromosome 1p/19q deletion is an established prognostic and predictive marker in the WHO grade III oligodendroglial tumours (OT). To estimate the genetic status preoperatively, the authors investigated the correlation between the uptake of (11)C-methionine in positron emission tomography (PET) and the 1p/19q status in grades II and III OT. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 144 pat...
متن کاملCortical dysplasia localized by [11C]methionine positron emission tomography: case report.
Numerous functional neuroimaging techniques have progressively been added to the presurgical evaluation of refractory partial epilepsies. These investigations can help confirm the origin of seizure onset previously suggested by MR imaging and electro-clinical data, provide independent prognostic information, and provide critical diagnostic value when MR imaging results are strictly normal or sh...
متن کاملToxoplasmic encephalitis on positron emission tomography
A 31-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of rightsided weakness, numbness and paresthesia. She was diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) 8 months before. Her most recent CD4 count was 19 cells/cmm and her viral load was 15,000 copies/mL, and she reported taking antiretroviral therapy plus prophylactic trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and azithromycin. Analysis of her c...
