Malignant melanoma of the clivus is a rare entity, for which there is little evidence-based literature for guiding clinicians to understand the importance of disease staging via noninvasive imaging strategy. This report highlights the case of a 55-year-old lady with histopathologically confirmed melanocytic melanoma of the clivus-postoperative status, with multiple skeletal metastasis, demonstrated on 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT scan). The experience gained with this patient demonstrates the feasibility and usefulness of this noninvasive application in accurate staging and hence, correct decision making regarding further treatment.
斜坡恶性黑色素瘤是一种罕见的疾病，几乎没有循证文献可指导临床医生了解通过非侵入性成像策略进行疾病分期的重要性。本报告重点介绍了一名55岁女性的病例，其组织病理学确诊为斜坡黑色素细胞黑色素瘤——术后状态，在2-脱氧-2-[18F]氟-D-葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（18F-FDG PET/CT扫描）上显示有多处骨骼转移。该患者的经验证明了这种非侵入性应用在准确分期以及因此在关于进一步治疗的正确决策方面的可行性和实用性。
