چکیده

Asymptomatic skeletal muscle metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer is a rare event particularly when it is detected at initial staging. This report describes how whole body imaging with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) detected a solitary asymptomatic metastasis to the gluteus maximus muscle in a potentially resectable case of non-small cell lung cancer, thereby changing the treatment plan from surgical resection to systemic chemotherapy.

Triage of Limited Versus Extensive Disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan in Small Cell lung Cancer

Objective(s): Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which accounts for 10-15% of pulmonary cancers and exhibits early metastatic spread. This study aimed to determine the added value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging of SCLC, compared to the conventional computed tomography (CT) scan and its potential role as a prognosticat...

18FDG PET/CT in pulmonary carcinosarcoma and brain metastasis

 Carcinosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that is composed of a mixture of sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma has a 25% five-year survival rate with a prognosis poorer than other non-small cell lung carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma and its 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. A 61-year-old male patient presented with brain symptoms, including hea...
