High F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake in a cardiac mass is considered to be a marker of malignancy, but that is not always true. We here present such a case of incidentally detected F-FDG cardiac mass on staging positron emission tomography-computed tomography in a woman with head-and-neck cancer, confirmed to be myxoma on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and subsequent histopathology.
心脏肿物中高氟代脱氧葡萄糖(F-FDG)摄取被认为是恶性肿瘤的一个标志物,但并非总是如此。我们在此报告一例在一名头颈癌女性患者分期正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描中偶然发现的F-FDG心脏肿物病例,经对比增强磁共振成像及后续组织病理学检查证实为黏液瘤。
