A Rare Bone to Pick: Solitary Clavicle Metastasis from Cervical Carcinoma on ¹⁸ F-FDG PET/CT

Carcinoma cervix is among the most common malignancies in women, with distant metastases typically involving the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones. However, solitary metastasis to the clavicle at initial presentation is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman newly diagnosed with carcinoma cervix, in whom a solitary clavicular metastasis was identified on 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) with no evidence of skeletal involvement elsewhere. This case highlights the pivotal role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in detecting metastatic lesions at uncommon sites. Early identification of such atypical spread can significantly influence staging and modify treatment intent.
