Fluorine-18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET) is not sensitive modality for the diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, FDG-PET imaging may be useful in the identification of extrahepatic metastases. We report an interesting image of HCC with solitary metastasis to sternum detected by F-18 FDG PET/CT.
氟-18氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(F-18 FDG PET)对原发性肝细胞癌(HCC)的诊断并非敏感的检查方法。然而,FDG-PET成像在识别肝外转移方面可能有用。我们报告了一例通过F-18 FDG PET/CT检测到的原发性肝细胞癌伴有孤立性胸骨转移的有趣影像。
