A clinical case details a lipoma found in the brachiocephalic vein through PET/CT, indicating rare tumor localization.
Lipomas of large central veins are rare. The most common localization of these tumors is the inferior vena cava (LVA), where they are found in about 0.5 % of the general population during contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Currently, no clinical cases of lipomas in the brachiocephalic vein have been published in the literature, which would have been detected during PET/CT examination. Here is a clinical case of a patient with primary multiple metachronous tumor processes: prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, that has undergone PET/CT scan with 18F - PSMA-1007.
