| Popis: |
A patient was referred, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, for pre-surgical evaluation of urothelial bladder carcinoma (single lesion). Two thickenings in the left ureter wall identified on the CT scan were equivocal for malignancy. 18F-FDG PET/CT with delayed pelvic images, hyperhydration, and furosemide showed hypermetabolic ureteral metastases and multifocal bladder tumors. There were no lymph nodes or distant metastases. These 18F-FDG PET/CT findings completely altered the surgical treatment. The patient underwent left nephroureterectomy, radical cystoprostatectomy, and lymphadenectomy, followed by a urinary transit reconstruction. Histopathology confirmed multifocal high-grade urothelial carcinoma in the bladder walls and left ureter and benign lymph nodes. |
