Implication of atypical supraclavicular F18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in patients with breast cancer: Association between brown adipose tissue and breast cancer
It has been reported that F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the neck and supraclavicular lesions represents activated brown adipose tissue (BAT). In the present study, the association between BAT activity, detected by FDG-positron emission tomography (PET), and the clinicopathological features of patients with breast cancer was investigated. The cases of 156 consecutive patients with breas...
متن کاملDistinct uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose by brown adipose tissue with a catecholamine-secreting tumor.
A 24-year-old woman with paroxysmal episodes of hypertension and palpitation was found to have paraganglioma located at the left renal hilum (6.3 cm in size) as detected by MRI scan, where radioactivity was exclusively accumulated by I-MIBG scintigraphy. She had markedly increased plasma and urinary noradrenaline levels. F-FDG-PET scan demonstrated an increased uptake not only in the tumor (Pic...
متن کاملIncidental finding of low brown adipose tissue activity in endurance-trained individuals: Methodological considerations for positron emission tomography.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adults has been shown to have a meaningful impact on energy expenditure and cold-induced thermogenesis. Data from rodent research have suggested that exercise may be a promising method of increasing BAT activity, with potential applications to the treatment and prevention of obesity and diabetes. However, emerging human research using positron emission tomography (...
متن کاملPrevalence and pattern of brown adipose tissue distribution of 18F-FDG in patients undergoing PET-CT in a subtropical climatic zone.
BACKGROUND The uptake of F-FDG in brown adipose tissue (BAT) may have important implications in understanding the pathophysiology of BAT and obesity. Because of the thermal implications of BAT uptake of F-FDG, this study aimed to contribute to existing knowledge by assessing patients scanned in a subtropical environment with particular reference to ethnicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospect...
متن کاملNuclear Medicine: Asymmetric 18F-FDG Uptake in the Infradiaphragmatic Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) Mimicking Adrenal Metastasis: A Relatively Rare Site of Brown Fat and a Potential Source for False Positive FDG-PET Study
FDG uptake in the metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a source of significant concern while interpreting FDG-PET studies. It is also of great interest due to its potential implications for obesity research. In this communication, we describe hitherto unreported asymmetric BAT uptake in the abdomen, persisting after diazepam intervention in the repeat PET study on a separate day. ...
