FDG-PET may aid malignancy suspicion in rare cardiac liposarcomas; leaves open optimal therapy including radiotherapy.
Case Report (n=1)
No
FDG-PET imaging can be useful in suspecting the malignant nature of rare primary cardiac liposarcomas, though treatment with carbon ion radiotherapy may not be effective.
Goto et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac liposarcoma (n=1). Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was evaluated on Tumor characterization and diagnosis. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography indicated the malignant nature of a rare primary cardiac liposarcoma originating from the ventricular septum.
