F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose–Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Screening in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome [PDF]

JAMA, 2008
Individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have an inherited cancer predisposition to a diverse array of malignancies beginning early in life; survivors of one cancer have a markedly elevated risk of additional primary tumors. The underlying genetic defect in the majority of the families is a germline mutation in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene.

A case of pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma with direct invasion to the gastrointestinal tract through the retention cyst wall: A rare case report

JGH Open, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 1003-1005, December 2023., 2023
We experienced a rare case with pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC) that invaded nearby organs via the retention cyst wall. We need to account for possible invasion of the cyst wall and nearby organs in treatment of pancreatic cancer accompanied with a retention cyst or pseudocyst.

18F‐FDG PET/CT imaging of several asymptomatic skeletal muscle metastases of mixed germ cell ovarian cancer

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Key Clinical Message Metastasis to muscles caused by ovarian cancer is very rare and has a poor prognosis. Performing a whole‐body F18‐FDG PET/CT scan makes it possible to examine the whole body in one study and detected lesions in unexpected places.
