Shows pleural metastasis as a unique indicator of recurrent cervical carcinoma, suggesting a need for advanced imaging techniques.

PET/CT images showed multiple left pleural foci and nodular thickening of the pleura at the corresponding sites. Then, the pathology after CT-guided biopsy confirmed that the pleural foci were metastases from the cervical carcinoma.
