Krukenberg tumor通常是指源於腸胃道的黏液分泌性癌在卵巢上的轉移。本文報告了一個患有直腸癌的病人,其卵巢轉移在氟-18-FDG PET上的表现。此病例特別之處在於文獻上相同的報告仍十分罕見,並且也印證了PET在評估直腸大腸癌轉移上的高度價值。
”Krukenberg tumor” usually refers to ovarian metastases from mucin-secreting gastrointestinal cancers. Here we present a rare case of metastatic colorectal cancer of the right ovary revealed by 18F-FDG PET. This case is of special interest because the 18F-FDG PET finding of the Krukenberg tumor has rarely been reported in the published literature. The value of PET in detection of metastatic colorectal cancer is high, according to the presentations of this case.
