Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography identifying pericardial metastasis from early‐stage p16‐positive oropharyngeal cancer

Pericardial metastasis from HPV‐positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) without local recurrence is extremely rare. We report about a 69‐year‐old man exhibiting pericardial metastasis on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). There are currently no reports on the u...

Sumario:Pericardial metastasis from HPV‐positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) without local recurrence is extremely rare. We report about a 69‐year‐old man exhibiting pericardial metastasis on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). There are currently no reports on the use of PET/CT in patients with pericardial metastasis from p16‐positive OPSCCs.
