摘要
FDG PET plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with esophageal carcinoma. A 67-year-old man, who presented with dysphagia, fatigue, weakness, anorexia, anergia, and weight loss, underwent Tc-99m bone scan, CT, and FDG PET imaging. The bone scan and CT were consistent with a malignancy. Whole-body FDG PET demonstrated multiple metastases in various locations and helped the treating physicians to institute appropriate therapy. The identification of metastases by FDG PET is a critical component of the initial evaluation of a patient with esophageal carcinoma for the diagnosis and treatment of the primary malignancy and metastases.
