High 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Adrenal Angiomyolipoma
Adrenal angiomyolipoma is an extremely rare tumor, although computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging findings of adrenal angiomyolipoma have been reported, there are no reports regarding integrated fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) imaging. We report a case of adrenal angiomyolipoma showing a significantly high u...
متن کاملHigh 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in cardiac tumor
BACKGROUND Cardiac tumors, especially malignant, are rare but aggressive tumors that mostly arise from the mesenchymal cells and represent a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. Recently, fluorine-18-fluorodiography positron emission tomography and computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) is an increasingly popular new technique with diagnosis of tumor. METHODS We report a case of a right heart tu...
متن کاملMDCT imaging of calcinosis in systemic sclerosis.
Calcinosis is a typical feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and can be found in many different tissues including the superficial soft tissues, periarticular structures, muscles, and tendons. It can also provoke erosive changes on bones. Investigation is conducted most often with plain radiographs. However, when a more detailed assessment is necessary, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is...
متن کاملSevere Calcinosis in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis
A 56-year-old woman presented with long-standing pain in both knees. She had been suffering from Raynaud’s phenomenon for 10 years. A physical examination showed hard subcutaneous nodules on the extensor surfaces of both knees and elbows (Picture 1: left elbow and right knee) with sclerodactyly and telangieclagia in both hands. The Creactive protein level was normal (0.08 mg/dL, normal < 0.3), ...
متن کامل18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake and Tumor Hypoxia: Revisit 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose in Oncology Application
UNLABELLED This study revisited (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) uptake and its relationship to hypoxia in various tumor models. METHODS We generated peritoneal carcinomatosis and subcutaneous xenografts of colorectal cancer HT29, breast cancer MDA-MB-231, and non-small cell lung cancer A549 cell lines in nude mice. The partial oxygen pressure (pO2) of ascites fluid was measured. (18)F-FD...
