(18)F-FDG PET/CT for Response Assessment in Pediatric Sebaceous Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland

A 16-year-old male patient underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT staging after multiple surgical resections and radiotherapy of an uncommon metastatic pediatric sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland. Initial PET/CT imaging exhibited a recurrent paravertebral metastasis (C4) as well as a metabolically active...

Sumario:A 16-year-old male patient underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT staging after multiple surgical resections and radiotherapy of an uncommon metastatic pediatric sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland. Initial PET/CT imaging exhibited a recurrent paravertebral metastasis (C4) as well as a metabolically active tumor tissue at the primary site. Follow-up PET/CT after radiotherapy of the cervical spine (C4) and four cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and palbociclib revealed complete functional remission in the cervical spine and partial remission at the primary site. This case illustrates the (18)F-FDG-uptake behavior and the disease course of a very rare malignant epithelial tumor of the salivary glands.
