Bilateral Ovarian Metastases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Diagnosed with 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in a Patient with Endometriosis.
A 47-year-old woman with history of hepatocellular carcinoma was referred for 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT evaluation due to elevated alpha-fetoprotein. The examination showed several peritoneal uptakes and two nodular pelvic foci. Coelioscopic exploration allowed confirmation and resection of multiple peritoneal metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma while pelvic biopsies revealed endometriosis and endosalpingiosis. However, alpha-fetoprotein kept rising: subsequent 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose PET/CT exploration found no pelvic uptake, while 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT revealed intense tracer accumulation in the two pelvic masses corresponding to bilateral ovarian metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma. We highlight the importance of 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT in hepatocellular carcinoma especially in patients with confounding comorbidities such as endometriosis.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (Nucl Med Mol Imaging) is an official journal of the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine, which bimonthly publishes papers on February, April, June, August, October, and December about nuclear medicine and related sciences such as radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, dosimetry and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics of radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear and molecular imaging analysis, nuclear and molecular imaging instrumentation, radiation biology and radionuclide therapy. The journal specially welcomes works of artificial intelligence applied to nuclear medicine. The journal will also welcome original works relating to molecular imaging research such as the development of molecular imaging probes, reporter imaging assays, imaging cell trafficking, imaging endo(exo)genous gene expression, and imaging signal transduction. Nucl Med Mol Imaging publishes the following types of papers: original articles, reviews, case reports, editorials, interesting images, and letters to the editor.
The Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM)
KSNM is a scientific and professional organization founded in 1961 and a member of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences of the Korean Medical Association which was established by The Medical Services Law. The aims of KSNM are the promotion of nuclear medicine and cooperation of each member. The business of KSNM includes holding academic meetings and symposia, the publication of journals and books, planning and research of promoting science and health, and training and qualification of nuclear medicine specialists.
