Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer and cancer-related death in women. With increases in medical imaging utilization, incidentally detected cancer has become more prevalent. Specifically, breast cancer can be incidentally detected on nuclear cardiac imaging scans due to its high metabolic activity and because the tumor may fall within the field of view during these studies. We report a unique case of ductal carcinoma in situ found on Nitrogen-13 ammonia myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in a patient undergoing work up for chest pain.

乳房偶发瘤：心脏PET读者要小心了

乳腺癌仍然是妇女癌症和癌症相关死亡的最常见原因之一。随着医学影像利用的增加，偶然发现的癌症变得越来越普遍。具体来说，由于乳腺癌的高代谢活性，并且在这些研究中肿瘤可能落在视野范围内，因此可以在核心脏成像扫描中偶然发现乳腺癌。我们报告一个独特的病例导管原位癌发现在氮-13氨心肌灌注正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描（PET-CT）在一个病人接受工作的胸痛。
