Abstract:
Tuberculosis is an endemic disease in India for decades, and its coexistence in the patients with malignancy cannot be ignored. The non-specific uptake of 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-D-glucose in active infection and malignancy can affect the diagnosis and management of patients. However, characteristic anatomical features of the lesion aid not only in its localization but also in diagnosis. We share an interesting case of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of dorsal spine mimicking skeletal metastases in a treated case of carcinoma cervix.
摘要:
结核病是印度几十年来的地方病,其在恶性肿瘤患者中的共存不容忽视。活动性感染和恶性肿瘤中2-脱氧-2-[氟-18]氟-D-葡萄糖的非特异性摄取可影响患者的诊断和治疗。然而,病变的独特解剖特征不仅有助于其定位,而且有助于诊断。我们分享了一个有趣的病例,即在治疗的宫颈癌病例中,背侧脊柱坏死性肉芽肿性炎症模仿骨骼转移。
