Case | PET/CT finding | ceCT finding | Followup | Anticipated impact of ceCT on management |
---|---|---|---|---|
2.1 | N2 locoregional nodal minimal FDG uptake and M1 distant nodal FDG uptake | Locoregional and distant nodes up to max 10 mm. | Locoregional nodes excised, negative for metastases but performed 2 months after PET and in context of marked pathological response in previously bulky primary | No change |
2.2 | Minimal residual uptake in one lesion with resolution of other liver lesions | No liver lesions | In context of marked regression of prior multifocal disease likely reflected minimal residual disease. Repeat PET/CT 5 months later: no FDG avid liver lesions | No change |
2.3 | FDG avid lung lesion thought malignant and axillary nodal lesion thought equivocal for metastasis or inflammation | Lung lesion, no axillary nodal lesion seen | Following excision: Lung lesion positive for metastasis, axillary lesion was reactive | No change |
