Breast cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer and cancer-related death in women. With increases in medical imaging utilization, incidentally detected cancer has become more prevalent. Specifically, breast cancer can be incidentally detected on nuclear cardiac imaging scans due to its high metabolic activity and because the tumor may fall within the field of view during these studies. We report a unique case of ductal carcinoma in situ found on Nitrogen-13 ammonia myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in a patient undergoing work up for chest pain.
乳腺癌仍然是女性癌症及癌症相关死亡的最常见原因之一。随着医学影像检查的使用增加,偶然发现的癌症变得更加普遍。具体而言,由于乳腺癌具有高代谢活性,且在这些检查中肿瘤可能处于视野范围内,因此在核素心肌显像扫描中可偶然发现乳腺癌。我们报告了一例在因胸痛接受检查的患者的氮-13氨心肌灌注正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)中发现的原位导管癌的独特病例。
