Pancreatic involvement by metastasis from other primaries is rare and accounts for approximately 2% to 4% of pancreatic tumors. In this article, we describe FDG-avid pancreatic involvement in a patient with diagnosis of breast cancer. We conclude that FDG PET can be a convenient noninvasive method of early detection of recurrence and in monitoring metastatic disease during follow-up in such patients. A positive FDG PET warrants histopathologic correlation for appropriate treatment.
胰腺转移瘤来自其他原发灶较为少见,约占胰腺肿瘤的 2%~4%。本文描述了 1 例乳腺癌患者胰腺 FDG 摄取增高的情况。我们认为 FDG PET 是一种方便的无创性方法,可用于此类患者随访中早期发现复发和监测转移病灶。阳性 FDG PET 需行组织病理学检查以明确诊断并行相应治疗。
