| Popis: | A 67-year-old-woman diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma with hepatic metastases was treated with sigmoid colectomy and cryotherapy with radiofrequency ablation for the hepatic metastases. Despite postoperative chemotherapy, serum CEA levels were rising. The patient underwent an FDG-PET study in which hepatic metastases and gastric tumoral uptake were shown. Surgical resection of the hepatic metastases was performed. Peritoneal carcinomatosis was detected. The stomach FDG uptake was the result of peritoneal infiltration. Although the peritoneal masses were resected, the stomach peritoneal infiltration could not be removed because of parietal involvement. She was treated with chemotherapy but died 6 months after surgery. |
