F18 FDG PET uptake for the staging of Castleman disease and co-incidental uptake in lactating breast
نویسندگان
چکیده
Castleman Disease (CD) is an interesting and relatively rare lymphoproliferative disorder. The managemet of this entity depends to the presence of one or more than one foci. FDG PET is a novel diagnostic method to detect the unicentricity or multicentricity of the tumor. Here PET findings of a case with CD have been reported and co-incidental lactating breast uptake has been presented.

F-18 FDG PET/CT Imaging of Eccrine Sweat Gland Carcinoma of the Scrotum with Extensive Regional and Distant Metastases
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...
متن کاملIs there a difference in FDG PET findings of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with and without coexisting DCIS?
Objective(s): Studies have reported that invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with coexisting ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) show lower metastatic potential and recurrence and better overall survival than pure IDC. In this study, we assessed F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imagesof patients with newly diagnosed IDC to...

Fluorine-18 (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) [18F-FDG PET/CT] is one of the most commonly used modalities in many aspects of oncologic imaging such as diagnosis, staging, re-staging, monitoring and evaluation after treatment. As the usage frequency increases, many previously unknown normal variations, physiologic uptakes and incidental f...

Tuberculosis is a systemic disease which involves skeletal and articular system very rarely. Osteoarticular tuberculosis commonly occurs in the vertebral column and more rarely in the sacroiliac joints. In this study, we report a 44-years-old male patient with low-grade fever, malabsorption syndrome, abdominal and pelvic ascites and low-back pain, that underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for identifying t...

Objective(s): Expression of HER2 in gastric carcinoma has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications in patient management. The aim of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between standardized uptake value (SUV) and expression of HER2 in advanced gastric carcinoma. Methods: We analyzed the 18F-FDG PET/CT results of 109 patients that underwent gastrectomy for advanced gas...
