Fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is increasingly being used for diagnosing various malignancies and surveillance of cancer recurrence, staging and screening in high-risk individuals. Due to its high sensitivity in picking up small dysplastic lesions, incidental lesions are detected frequently. We present two patients who underwent PET CT as part of cancer screening and were incidentally detected with adenomatous colonic polyps. Colonoscopy and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET/CT)越来越多地用于诊断各种恶性肿瘤以及监测癌症复发、分期和高危个体的筛查。由于其在发现小的发育异常病变方面具有高敏感性,偶然发现的病变很常见。我们介绍了两名接受PET CT作为癌症筛查一部分的患者,他们偶然被检测出患有结肠腺瘤性息肉。结肠镜检查和活检证实了诊断。
