Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Buccal Mucosa: Role of (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Detection and Biopsy of Pulmonary Metastases and Assessment of Treatment Response

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the buccal mucosa has an increased propensity for recurrence and distant metastases. Due to the poor prognosis at late detection of distant metastases, it is advisable to keep a close follow-up. In the present case, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/co...

Sumario:Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the buccal mucosa has an increased propensity for recurrence and distant metastases. Due to the poor prognosis at late detection of distant metastases, it is advisable to keep a close follow-up. In the present case, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography proved invaluable in the comprehensive workup of the patient, including detection of local recurrence, distant metastases, and in assessing treatment response.
