Abstract:
Cervical cancer is one of the common gynaecological malignancies seen in women. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignancy encountered in women worldwide. Squamous cell carcinoma followed by adenocarcinoma is the most common histological subtype of cervical cancer. Apart from nodal metastases, the usual sites of metastases are the lungs, bones, and liver. Spleen, breast, and skin have been reported as rare sites of metastasis in cases of cervical cancer. Spleen is a rare site of metastasis not only in cases of carcinoma cervix but also in various other solid tumour malignancies. Splenic metastases being uncommon are difficult to characterise using routine imaging modalities. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) evaluation helps to detect these rare sites of metastasis.
摘要:
宫颈癌是女性常见的妇科恶性肿瘤之一。根据世界卫生组织(WHO)宫颈癌是全球女性常见的第四大恶性肿瘤。鳞状细胞癌其次是腺癌是宫颈癌最常见的组织学亚型。除了淋巴结转移,转移的常见部位是肺,骨头,还有肝脏.脾,乳房,据报道,在宫颈癌病例中,皮肤和皮肤是罕见的转移部位。脾脏不仅在宫颈癌中而且在其他各种实体瘤恶性肿瘤中都是罕见的转移部位。不常见的脾转移很难使用常规成像方式进行表征。18F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDGPET/CT)评估有助于检测这些罕见的转移部位。
