摘要
在接受 PET-CT 扫描的肿瘤患者中使用透明质酸(HA)填充剂可能会影响成像的准确性,因此一直是一个争论不休的话题。一名 54 岁的女性患者在腮腺部位接受了黑色素瘤转移切除术,随后出现了面神经麻痹(FNP),为了恢复面部对称和功能,她接受了 HA 填充剂注射。随访的 PET-CT 扫描显示,HA 注射未产生干扰或伪影,因此成像结果准确无误。该病例表明,肿瘤患者注射 HA 填充剂并不普遍会对 PET-CT 成像解读造成挑战或干扰。由于填充物可能引起假阳性,因此在患者的病史中纳入美容治疗是准确解读 PET-CT 图像的关键步骤。虽然在注射填充剂后解读 PET-CT 结果时必须保持高度谨慎,但我们的病例强调了肿瘤患者接受 PET-CT 后续扫描时这一过程的安全性。
18F-FDG PET-CT Scans in Oncology Patients Treated with Hyaluronic Acid Filler: Not Always a Pitfall
The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in oncology patients undergoing PET-CT scans is a topic of debate due to potential interference with imaging accuracy. A 54-year-old female, postmelanoma metastasectomy in the parotid region with subsequent facial nerve palsy (FNP), received HA filler injections for facial symmetry and functional restoration. Follow-up PET-CT scans showed no interference or artifacts attributable to HA injection, allowing for accurate imaging results. This case suggests that HA fillers administered in oncology patients may not universally pose challenges or disrupt PET-CT imaging interpretation. Due to the possible false positives induced by fillers, the inclusion of aesthetic treatments in patients' anamnesis is a crucial step to accurately interpret PET-CT images. Although maintaining high level of caution in interpreting PET-CT results after filler injection is essential, our case emphasizes the safety of this procedure in oncology patients undergoing follow-up PET-CT scans.
