Increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before FDG injection is a known phenomenon. We present FDG PET/CT findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla His scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. There was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...

18F-FDG PET/CT is widely known to be able to detect unsuspected metastatic lesions such as multiple metastatic muscle involvements in various types of cancer. Moreover, 18F-FDG PET/CT has been demonstrated to show a metastatic muscle involvement before any definite morphologic changes.1 The adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common primary tumor site when a muscular metastatic lesion is pre...

Skeletal muscle metastases following cancer surgery are rare. Few cases of abdominal wall metastasis have been reported in the literature and attributed to tumor seeding after laparoscopic surgery or percutaneous nephrostomy. We report a case of abdominal tumor seeding after open nephroureterectomy managed by means of a surgical and medical approach.

Malignant melanoma can spread to any organ. The most common sites of metastasis are skin, subcutaneous tissue and lymph nodes, followed by lung, liver and brain. Skeletal muscle metastases from melanoma are rare and only reported sporadically in literature. We report a case of a 31 year old male with multiple intramuscular metastases from malignant
