We report a rare case of adrenal epithelioid angiosarcoma metastatic to the epicardium diagnosed by F-FDG PET/CT. A 61-year-old man presented with fatigue, unintentional weight loss, night sweats, and elevated inflammatory markers. FDG PET/CT demonstrated intense uptake in a space-occupying lesion in the right adrenal gland and increased uptake in a lesion adjacent to the heart. Histopathologic evaluation revealed an epithelioid angiosarcoma of the right adrenal gland metastatic to the epicardium. FDG PET/CT is a valuable tool for characterization and making the therapeutic decision concerning indeterminate or suspicious adrenal tumors.
我们报告了一例罕见的肾上腺上皮样血管肉瘤转移至心脏被 F-FDG PET/CT 诊断的病例。一名 61 岁男性因疲劳、非刻意性体重减轻、盗汗和炎症标志物升高而就诊。FDG PET/CT 显示右肾上腺占位性病变和心脏邻近部位摄取增加。组织病理学评估显示右肾上腺上皮样血管肉瘤转移至心脏。FDG PET/CT 是一种有价值的工具,可用于确定不确定或可疑的肾上腺肿瘤的特征并做出治疗决策。
