We present the findings of 18 F-FDG PET and 68 Ga-fibroblast activation protein PET scans done in a case of bilateral breast carcinoma with 2 different histopathology, left breast tubulolobular carcinoma and right breast invasive breast carcinoma of no special type.
The incidence of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNs) is 1% to 6% for small- to intermediate-size nevi to 1 in 500,000 for giant size nevi. Large and satellite CMNs are known to be associated with neurocutaneous melanosis and central nervous system malformations such as Dandy-Walker malformation, defects of the vertebra-skull, and intraspinal lipomas. We hereby present a case of CMN syndrome in an 18-year-old girl with leptomeningeal melanoma, evaluated with MRI, adequately staged, and screened with FDG PET.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
