We reviewed FDG-PET CT scans from 806 patients treated for esophageal cancer from 2010-2018 and identified 42 patients with FDG avid hilar adenopathy. Thirteen patients underwent histological assessment and 29 were followed...
nodes were considered concerning for metastatic disease when SUV max was >2.5 or FDG uptake was visually > mediastinal background were examined.#We reviewed FDG-PET CT scans from 806 patients treated for esophageal cancer from 2010-2018 and identified 42 patients with FDG avid hilar adenopathy. ...
a Axial PET/CT image reveals a FDG-avid mass in the nasopharynx in keeping with a known nasopharyngeal carcinoma (asterisk). No separate retropharyngeal adenopathy is seen on this image. b Corresponding axial CECT image shows the infiltrative nasopharyngeal carcinoma (asterisk). No definite retropha...
A subsequent F-18 FDG PET scan demonstrated the right middle lobe lung nodule and the mediastinal adenopathy to be FDG-avid, but a striking incidental finding on this study was intense RV FDG uptake, secondary to RV hypertrophy and strain....
