Solitary Splenic Metastasis From Endometrial Carcinoma Revealed on FDG PET/CT

Abstract

Solitary splenic metastasis from endometrial carcinoma is rare. We report a case of imaging findings of solitary splenic metastasis in a 53-year-old woman who underwent resection surgery of endometrial carcinoma of uterus 1 year ago. On FDG PET/CT, it presented as a solitary soft tissue mass with an SUVmax of 18.44. The postoperative pathology supported metastasis from endometrial carcinoma.

FDG PET/CT in Unilateral Renal Metastasis From Colon Cancer

“…FDG PET/CT findings of renal metastasis from colon cancer were rarely reported 8,9 . Renal metastases usually show increased FDG uptake, with degrees of FDG uptake being similar to those of the primary tumors 8–16 . Renal metastasis may be indistinguishable from renal cell carcinoma on FDG PET/CT.…”
