Cutaneous metastases of primary internal malignancies are rare, with an incidence of 0.7% to 10.4%. Cutaneous manifestations due to breast cancer are the most common metastases dermatologists observe, with a prevalence of 2.4% and an incidence of 23.9%. Presence of cutaneous metastases is usually a late event in disease progression, indicating grave prognosis. Recognition of cutaneous breast cancer metastases significantly alters therapeutic plans, especially when the disease was thought to be successfully cured. F-FDG PET CT imaging can detect cutaneous metastasis and sites of distant metastases and monitor response to therapy. We report 3 patients with cutaneous-predominant breast carcinoma seen by FDG PET/CT.
皮肤转移原发于内部恶性肿瘤较为罕见,发病率为 0.7%至 10.4%。皮肤科医生观察到的最常见的乳腺癌皮肤转移表现,发病率为 2.4%,发生率为 23.9%。皮肤转移的发生通常是疾病进展的晚期事件,提示预后不良。识别皮肤乳腺癌转移可显著改变治疗计划,尤其是当疾病被认为已成功治愈时。18F-FDG PET CT 成像可检测皮肤转移和远处转移部位,并监测治疗反应。我们报告了 3 例 FDG PET/CT 检查的皮肤为主型乳腺癌患者。
