Peripheral Tuberculous Lymphadenitis Masquerading as Metastatic Gastric Carcinoma on F-18 FDG Dual Time Point PET/CT

F 18 FDG PETCT detection for liver metastases

Utility of dual time point 18 FDG PET-CT

The Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) from FDG PET-CT is a simplified quantitative measure used for characterization of tissues suspected for malignancy. Its rationale is based in augmented glucose consumption of oncologic cells although, many other benign pathologies, could show elevated values leading to error. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate that SUV value continues elevatin...

Metastatic Signet-Ring Cell Gastric Carcinoma Masquerading as Breast Primary

Metastasis to the breast from an extra-mammary primary is a rare phenomenon; metastasis from gastric carcinoma to the breast is extremely so. We report a case who initially presented as mucin-secreting and signet-ring cell tumor of the ovary, and after an interval of 8 months with breast and chest wall metastatic nodules. The covert gastric primary eluded the oncologists at both presentations.
