Implication

This case report demonstrates enhanced detection of bone metastasis in accessory breast cancer using PET/CT imaging, suggesting improved accuracy in staging.

Key Points

To report on the imaging findings in a case of HER2-positive accessory breast cancer and its bone metastases.
Imaging performed using 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-HER2 affibody PET/CT.
Conducted a whole bone scan using ⁹⁹ᵐTc-MDP.
Evaluated axillary lesions before and after treatment regimens.
HER2 PET/CT identified extensive bone metastases not detected by traditional scans.
18 F-FDG PET/CT showed few bone lesions with mild tracer uptake.
After treatment, significant reduction in axillary lesions was observed.
