Carcinoma cervix is the most common gynecological malignancy among Indian women. The common symptoms at presentation include abnormal vaginal bleeding, unusual discharge from the vagina, or pain during coitus and postmenopausal bleeding. Rarely, few patients may present with distant metastases without local symptoms. We present two patients with an unusual presentation of metastatic disease without any gynecological symptoms, where (18)F-flouro deoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography helped in identifying the primary malignancy in the uterine cervix.
宫颈癌是印度女性中最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤。就诊时的常见症状包括异常阴道出血、阴道异常分泌物、性交时疼痛和绝经后出血。很少有患者可能在没有局部症状的情况下出现远处转移。我们报告了两名患者,他们表现出转移性疾病的不寻常表现,且没有任何妇科症状,其中(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描有助于确定子宫颈的原发性恶性肿瘤。
