We describe herein a case of esophageal cancer in which both primary and metastatic lymph node foci were successfully imaged with whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. A 75-year-old woman with biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus underwent whole-body PET scanning for staging evaluation. The patient was injected with 373.7 MBq [18F]-2-fluoro-2-D-deoxyglucose (FDG), and 60 min later, scanning was performed from the neck to the pelvis. The whole-body images showed intense FDG uptake in the primary lesion and multiple focal areas of increased FDG uptake in the mediastinum and abdomen, which corresponded to the lymph node foci confirmed by computed tomography (CT) scan. To our knowledge, this is the first report of whole-body PET scanning being applied in the imaging of esophageal cancer.
我们在此描述一例食管癌病例，其中原发灶和转移淋巴结灶均通过全身正电子发射断层扫描（PET）成功成像。一名75岁经活检证实为食管鳞状细胞癌的女性接受全身PET扫描以进行分期评估。给患者注射了373.7 MBq的[18F]-2-氟-2-D-脱氧葡萄糖（FDG），60分钟后，从颈部到骨盆进行扫描。全身图像显示原发灶有强烈的FDG摄取，纵隔和腹部有多个FDG摄取增加的局灶性区域，这些区域与计算机断层扫描（CT）证实的淋巴结灶相对应。据我们所知，这是全身PET扫描应用于食管癌成像的首例报告。
