Adrenal metastases have commonly been reported in a wide variety of cancers but not in gallbladder cancer. We here present a case of a 45-year-old male patient with gallbladder carcinoma where left adrenal metastasis was detected on staging F-FDG PET/CT. This was confirmed histopathologically. F-FDG PET/CT can have a significant impact on management of patients with gallbladder carcinoma by demonstrating rare sites of metastasis.
肾上腺转移通常在多种癌症中均有报道,但在胆囊癌中并不常见。我们在此报告一例 45 岁男性胆囊癌患者,在分期 F-FDG PET/CT 检查中发现左侧肾上腺转移。这一结果得到了组织病理学的证实。F-FDG PET/CT 通过显示罕见的转移部位,对胆囊癌患者的治疗管理具有重要影响。
