A Rare Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis on (18)F-FDG PET/CT for Staging in a Patient with Common Bile Duct Cancer
Distant metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma is most commonly diagnosed in the liver; however, it can also be found in the lungs, distant lymph nodes, bones, and brain. Distant lymph node metastasis outside the abdominal region without concurrent abdominal metastasis is exceedingly rare in extrahepatic...

description | Distant metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma is most commonly diagnosed in the liver; however, it can also be found in the lungs, distant lymph nodes, bones, and brain. Distant lymph node metastasis outside the abdominal region without concurrent abdominal metastasis is exceedingly rare in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Herein, we present interesting (18)F-FDG PET/CT images of a 49-year-old male patient with common bile duct cancer. In this case, the patient, who was scheduled for surgery, unexpectedly showed axillary lymph node metastasis on a preoperative (18)F-FDG PET scan, which was subsequently confirmed via histological examination. Although such cases are exceptionally rare, this accurate diagnosis prompted a modification of the treatment plan, leading to a positive therapeutic response. |
