The role of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of treatment response in a case of calcified ovarian metastases
Evaluation of calcified metastatic lesions by conventional imaging can be challenging. Ovarian cancer metastases can present with calcification which might increase in size and number following therapy. It is not entirely clear whether these calcifications are associated with tumor response or disease progression. Calcified lesions which do not change in size or configuration are particularly p...
متن کاملLiver Metastasis of Lung Cancer Detected with Similar Uptake Pattern on Bone Scintigraphy and Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography: What's the Pathophysiologic Mechanism?
Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc diphosphonates may exhibit extraosseous lesions in addition to metastatic lesions. Multiple factors can affect extraosseous 99mTc methylene diphosphonate (MDP) uptake. Similar uptake pattern of 99mTc MDP and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F FDG) in hepatic metastasis was not already notified. In our case, initial tumor necrosis and subsequent intracellular calcif...
متن کاملMetabolic activity in bone metastases of breast and prostate cancer were similar as studied by 18F-FDG PET/CT. The role of 99mTc-MDP.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the metabolic activity of metastatic foci from breast and prostate cancer patients as scanned by fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and by technetium-99m methyl diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scan (BS). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty one patients were studied, divided into 2 groups based o...
متن کاملValue of Dedicated Head and Neck 18F-FDG PET/CT Protocol in Detecting Recurrent and Metastatic Lesions in Post-surgical Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Patients with High Serum Thyroglobulin Level and Negative 131I Whole-body Scan
Objective(s): In clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative 131I whole-body scan (WBS) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in DTC patients with high seru...
متن کاملMultiple Gastric Metastases from Ovarian Carcinoma Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasound with Fine Needle Aspiration
Metastasis to the stomach from nongastric tumors is a rare event. We present a case of ovarian cancer metastasis to the gastric wall that presented as multiple subepithelial gastric lesions. A 55-year-old female with known stage III b serous ovarian cancer was admitted to the hospital with melena and anemia. A 1.5 to 2 cm subepithelial mass with superficial overlying erosion in the antrum was s...
