Tumour thrombosis of the inferior cava vein is usually associated with primary renal cell cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of adrenal metastasis of breast cancer extending into the inferior vena cava. There are few references in the literature documenting this extension with positron emission tomography (PET) and enhanced computed tomography (CT). The authors focus on the role of combined PET-CT imaging in the accurate detection of malignant thrombus.
下腔静脉肿瘤血栓形成通常与原发性肾细胞癌相关。据我们所知,这是首例报道的乳腺癌肾上腺转移灶延伸至下腔静脉的病例。文献中很少有关于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和增强计算机断层扫描(CT)记录这种延伸情况的参考资料。作者重点关注PET-CT联合成像在准确检测恶性血栓中的作用。
