(18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging of massive portal vein tumor thrombosis from ileal adenocarcinoma.

چکیده
A 72 years old patient was referred to us with ileal adenocarcinoma after surgical desection. Fluorine-18- fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) imaging showed massive portal vein, tumor thrombosis. Clinical examination and laboratory tests did not support the diagnosis of septic thrombus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of a massive tumor thrombus in the right portal system from ileal carcinoma, detected by (18)F-FDG PET/CT.

(18)F-FDG PET/CT is a valuable noninvasive tool in oncologic imaging, and its application in the diagnosis of liver metastases has been very convincing. Both the sensitivity and the specificity of (18)F-FDG PET/CT are high for detecting liver metastases from various tumors including colorectal, breast, and lung. Such liver metastases are typically (18)F-FDG-avid. We present atypical (18)F-FDG P...

Eccrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant skin cancer arising from eccrine sweat glands with a high metastatic potential. It mainly occurs in the elderly, with equal incidence in both sexes. It usually spreads to regional lymph nodes, with liver, lungs, and bones being the most common sites of distant metastasis. Because of tumor rarity, little is known about the value of F18- FDG PET/CT...
