Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARM) is a rare variant of malignant melanoma and even more rare among all anorectal cancers. F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (CT) scan is valuable in staging, restaging, treatment response evaluation, and long-term follow-up of malignant melanoma. Here, reporting two cases of anorectal melanoma with a variety of FDG uptake pattern and CT-based features and reviewed a few articles to evaluate the pattern of FDG uptake.
肛管直肠恶性黑色素瘤(ARM)是恶性黑色素瘤的一种罕见变体,在所有肛管直肠癌中更为罕见。氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(CT)在恶性黑色素瘤的分期、再分期、治疗反应评估及长期随访中具有重要价值。本文报告两例具有多种FDG摄取模式及基于CT特征的肛管直肠黑色素瘤病例,并复习了几篇文章以评估FDG摄取模式。
