Isolated splenic metastases of breast carcinoma detected with 18F-FDG PET/CT
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
18-fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography integrated with Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET- CT) on staging work up in a case of invasive duct cell carcinoma detected unusual presence of isolated spelnic metastases without any other visceral involvement. Following neo adjuvant chemotherapy complete regression of splenic metastases was evident on post therapy scan. This case is being reported because of the rare diagnosis of isolated splenic metastases on PET CT in preoperative staging work up of breast carcinoma.
