We present two cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) metastasizing to the thyroid gland. This is the first report that shows (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) images of tonsillar and supraglottic SCCs invading the thyroid gland. Alcohol and tobacco use are the two most important risk factors for head and neck cancers, but recently human papilloma virus (HPV) infection has become a significant risk factor in the United States. FDG-PET/CT is very useful for SCC staging/restaging and follow-up.
我们报告了两例头颈部鳞状细胞癌(SCC)转移至甲状腺的病例。这是首份展示扁桃体和声门上SCC侵犯甲状腺的(18)F-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)图像的报告。饮酒和吸烟是头颈部癌症的两个最重要风险因素,但最近人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染在美国已成为一个重要风险因素。FDG-PET/CT对SCC分期/再分期及随访非常有用。
