Whole-body (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Demonstrating Multiple Rare Extracranial Metastases in a Treated Case of Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults that accounts for nearly 20% of all primary malignant brain tumors. While GBM is notable for local recurrence and invasion, extracranial metastases (ECMs) are exceedingly rare, occurring in <2% of patients. However, the repor...

description Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults that accounts for nearly 20% of all primary malignant brain tumors. While GBM is notable for local recurrence and invasion, extracranial metastases (ECMs) are exceedingly rare, occurring in <2% of patients. However, the report of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) imaging in evaluating ECM is limited, and the importance of whole-body FDG PET/CT imaging in GBM has not been well elucidated. We present here a case of GBM, post excision 12 years before, whole-body (18)F-FDG PET/CT showing no recurrence in the brain and ECM to multiple bones, right kidney, and pancreas.
