Spinal cord metastasis from testicular seminoma detected by F-18 FDG PET/CT study prior to neurological symptoms: An unusual presentation

A 60-year-old patient with testicular seminoma was referred for F-18 FDG PET/CT Study to evaluate recurrence. In addition to hypermetabolic cervical, mediastinal and hilar lymph node tumoral metastases, segmental intense FDG uptake along the lumbar spinal cord suggestive of tumoral metastasis was noted which quite an unusual presentation is.  At the time of PET study the patient was symptomless...

Spinal cord involvement of multiple myeloma detected by F-18 FDG PET/CT Scan.

F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) images of a patient with spinal cord involvement of light chain (Lambda type) multiple myelo-ma (MM) is reported. A 56-year-old man had a 15-months history of light chain MM and have got out of hand after a chemotherapy regimen with only two cycles (melphalan, prednisone) was admitted to hospital ...

F 18 FDG PETCT detection for liver metastases

Endobronchial metastasis from testicular seminoma.

OBJECTIVE To present a case of endobronchial metastasis from a seminoma mimicking a primary pulmonary mass on X-ray radiograph. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 27-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of hemoptysis. Thorax computerized tomography of the patient obtained at the level of the main right bronchi demonstrated a mass with a size of 7 x 6 cm and a peripheral lobulat...

Adrenocortical Oncocytic Carcinoma and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Incidentally Detected in an Asymptomatic Patient by F-18 FDG PET/CT

F-18 FDG is the most widely used tracer in molecular imaging and it is applied for many purposes mainly in malignant diseases. Incidental finding are common in FDG-PET/CT imaging and includes benign and malignant lesions. Among the rare tumors , adrenal oncocytomas are uncommon findings and incidental findings of thyroid malignancies are not rare. Oncocytoma is a rare adrenocortical tumor and m...
