Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urachal remnant is a nonurothelial malignancy that may be asymptomatic until locally advanced or metastatic. We describe a 37-year-old woman with invasive ductal breast carcinoma who underwent Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) demonstrating a non-FDG avid pelvic mass, initially suspected to represent a pedunculated uterine fibroid. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mixed solid-cystic mass separate from the uterus, suspicious for urachal neoplasm, confirmed as mucinous adenocarcinoma on histopathology. Urachal tumors may not be FDG-avid and represent a potential pitfall on FDG PET/CT.
脐尿管残余黏液腺癌是一种非尿路上皮恶性肿瘤,在局部进展或转移之前可能没有症状。我们描述了一名37岁患有浸润性导管癌的女性,她接受了氟脱氧葡萄糖(F-FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)计算机断层扫描(CT),显示出一个不摄取FDG的盆腔肿块,最初怀疑是带蒂的子宫肌瘤。磁共振成像显示一个与子宫分离的混合实性囊性肿块,怀疑为脐尿管肿瘤,组织病理学证实为黏液腺癌。脐尿管肿瘤可能不摄取FDG,这在FDG PET/CT上是一个潜在的陷阱。
