A 55-year-old man was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in the middle thoracic esophagus. The FDG PET/CT revealed an incidental strong FDG-avid finding (SUVmax, 11) in the right parotid gland, which was subsequently confirmed as metastasis from the squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus via surgery. The current case adds another differential diagnosis of parotid FDG-avid lesion to the existing literature.
一名 55 岁男性被诊断为中段食管鳞状细胞癌。FDG PET/CT 显示右侧腮腺有一个偶然的强烈 FDG 摄取病灶（SUVmax，11），随后通过手术证实为食管鳞状细胞癌转移。本病例为现有文献增加了另一种腮腺 FDG 摄取病变的鉴别诊断。
