Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTNs) are a group of pregnancy-related neoplasms, which include chorioadenoma destruens (invasive mole), placental site trophoblastic tumor, and choriocarcinoma. Although the role of F-FDG PET/CT is still undefined in GTN, in selected cases, it can have significant impact on patient management. Here, we present the case of a 29-year-old woman with hydatidiform mole suggestive of GTN 3 months after evacuation. F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated chorioadenoma destruens (invasive mole) and ruled out metastasis in this case.
妊娠滋养细胞肿瘤(GTN)是一组与妊娠相关的肿瘤,包括绒毛膜癌、胎盘部位滋养细胞肿瘤和侵蚀性葡萄胎。尽管 F-FDG PET/CT 在 GTN 中的作用尚未确定,但在某些情况下,它可能对患者的管理产生重大影响。在此,我们报告了一例 29 岁女性患者,葡萄胎排空 3 个月后,提示 GTN3。F-FDG PET/CT 显示侵蚀性葡萄胎(侵袭性葡萄胎),并排除了转移。
