Herein is a report of a patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) possibly arising from greater omentum accompanying diffuse peritoneal disseminatation. Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) revealed that 18F-FDG uptake was widely spreading in the abdomen. In this case, the PET image was more useful than computed tomography (CT) for understanding tumor distribution rather. PET provides important information on tumor distribution and has an impact on evaluating clinical stage in GIST patients.
本文报告一例胃肠道间质瘤（GIST）患者，肿瘤可能起源于大网膜并伴有弥漫性腹膜播散。18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（18F-FDG）正电子发射断层扫描（PET）显示，18F-FDG摄取在腹部广泛分布。在这种情况下，PET图像在了解肿瘤分布方面比计算机断层扫描（CT）更有用。PET提供了关于肿瘤分布的重要信息，并对评估GIST患者的临床分期有影响。
