Key result
18F-FDG PET/CT detects local recurrence and pulmonary metastasis in pulmonary artery rhabdomyosarcoma.
Why the study?
Primary pulmonary artery rhabdomyosarcomas are very rare tumors with limited cases reported, and imaging for restaging is not well characterized.
Case Report (n=1)
FDG PET/CT can be a useful imaging modality for restaging rare tumors such as pulmonary artery rhabdomyosarcoma.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support FDG PET/CT for restaging this rare sarcoma; leaves broader utility open pending larger studies.
Suman et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Primary pulmonary artery rhabdomyosarcoma (n=1). 18F-FDG PET/CT was evaluated on Detection of local recurrence and pulmonary metastasis. 18F-FDG PET/CT successfully identified local recurrence and pulmonary metastasis in a 58-year-old man with primary pulmonary artery rhabdomyosarcoma.
