| Abstrakt: | Abstract: We present 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings of an internal thoracic vein tumor thrombus from melanoma in a 76-year-old woman. Restaging 18 F-FDG PET/CT shows a progressive disease with an internal thoracic vein tumor thrombus from a sternal bone metastasis. Although cutaneous malignant melanoma may metastasize to any body part, a direct tumor invasion of veins and the formation of a tumor thrombus represent an extremely rare complication. Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: The authors have no conflicts of interest to report. The University Hospital Zurich holds a research agreement with GE Healthcare.
