F-FDG PET/CT is a sensitive noninvasive imaging tool for assessment of recurrent disease in patients with carcinoma cervix. Its role in early detection of recurrences especially in asymptomatic patients has been demonstrated well in literature. Metastatic involvement of the pancreas in patients with adenocarcinoma of the cervix is a rare occurrence, reported only few times in literature, and is predominantly documented to be associated with uncommon histopathologies such as neuroendocrine and small cell carcinoma. We report a rare asymptomatic case of adenocarcinoma of the cervix, detected and confirmed to have pancreatic metastasis on surveillance FDG PET/CT imaging.
氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(F-FDG PET/CT)是一种用于评估宫颈癌患者复发性疾病的敏感无创成像工具。它在早期检测复发,特别是无症状患者的复发方面的作用在文献中得到了很好的证明。文献中仅报道过几次,宫颈腺癌患者胰腺转移的情况非常罕见,主要与神经内分泌和小细胞癌等罕见的组织病理学相关。我们报告了一例罕见的无症状宫颈癌病例,在进行氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG PET/CT)监测时发现并确诊为胰腺转移。
