Abstract

A 58 year old female was referred for FDG-PET/CT for restaging of endometrial adenocarcinoma. For evaluation of treatment, no metastases were detected on FDG-PET/CT which was performed 18 months later after the surgery. During follow-up, FDG-PET/CT was performed 6 months later than the previous FDG-PET/CT for restaging. A lesion with increased metabolic activity (SUV max: 10.21) was detected at spleen which was not seen on previous FDG-PET/CT scan. The lesion was consistent with metastasis of endometrial carcinoma.

Splenic metastasis of endometrial carcinoma is extremely rare. There are only 13 cases of splenic metastasis from endometrial carcinoma that reported in the literature before. There is only one splenic metastasis of endometrial carcinoma case reported in the literature which is imaged with FDG-PET.

To best of our knowledge this is the first report of solitary splenic metastasis of endometrial carcinoma that is imaged with FDG-PET/CT.

Résumé

Paciente de 58 a¿nos fue derivada para un FDG-PET/TAC para el re-estadiaje de un adenocarcinoma de endometrio. En cuanto a la evaluación del tratamiento, en el FDG-PET/TAC realizado 18 meses postcirugía no se detectó metástasis. Durante el seguimiento, se llevaron a cabo un FDG-PET/TAC a los 6 meses del previo para reestadificación, detectando una lesión con actividad metabólica aumentada (SUV: máx: 10,21) en el bazo que no se había detectado en el estudio previo. La lesión concordaba con metástasis de carcinoma de endometrio.

Es muy poco común detectar una metástasis esplénica del endometrio. En la bibliografía, únicamente se han encontrado 13 casos de una metástasis esplénica de carcinoma de endometrio. Asimismo, se han informado de un caso de metástasis esplénica del carcinoma del endometrio en la bibliografía con imágenes del FDG-PET.

Hasta donde nosotros conocemos, este es el primer informe de metástasis esplénica solitaria de un carcinoma de endometrio diagnosticado por imagen con el FDG-PET/TAC.
