We present a case with space-occupying lesion in cirrhotic liver, diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma on immunohistochemistry, who underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) and showed FDG-avid lesions in liver as well as in the prostate. These findings guided in establishing the diagnosis of prostate cancer, metastasizing to liver by performing additional immunohistochemical markers. PET/CT was also useful in identifying coexisting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
我们报告一例肝硬化肝脏存在占位性病变的病例,经免疫组化诊断为肝细胞癌,该患者接受了F-18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)检查,结果显示肝脏以及前列腺存在FDG摄取增高的病变。这些发现通过进一步的免疫组化标记物有助于确诊前列腺癌肝转移。PET/CT在识别同时存在的非霍奇金淋巴瘤方面也很有用。
