Recurrent Gastric Cancer Metastasizing to the Bone Marrow Detected on (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography Scan

Gastric cancer is one of the important causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with significantly low median survival in metastatic gastric cancer. Thus, when planning treatment for gastric cancer, it becomes important to determine whether or not there is metastasis. Bone marrow is a rare regi...

Sumario:Gastric cancer is one of the important causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with significantly low median survival in metastatic gastric cancer. Thus, when planning treatment for gastric cancer, it becomes important to determine whether or not there is metastasis. Bone marrow is a rare region for metastasis in cases of gastric carcinoma, as suggested by the literature. We are herewith presenting the case of a 56-year-old patient of recurrent gastric carcinoma who showed a rare site of metastasis involving marrow on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scan.
