Multiple metastases to skeletal muscle from carcinoma of the esophagus detected by FDG PET-CT imaging
E Heffernan, D Fennelly, CD Collins - Clinical nuclear medicine, 2006 - journals.lww.com
A 67-year-old woman was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, esophagectomy, and
subsequent radiotherapy for T3N1 poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
Five months after surgery, a routine follow-up CT demonstrated a 1.2-cm soft tissue mass in
the posterior mediastinum suspicious for local recurrence. An FDG-PET/CT study confirmed
tumor in the posterior mediastinum and also showed focal areas of increased tracer uptake
within several muscles. Skeletal muscle is one of the most unusual sites of metastatic …
