Abstract
Extensive tumor thrombus and simultaneous pulmonary metastasis in glioma patient is rare. Herein, we reported a 45-year-old woman with extensive tumor thrombus in sagittal sinus and sigmoid sinus with obvious enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed extensive tumor thrombus in sagittal sinus, sigmoid sinus andinternal jugular vein, and simultaneous left hilar lymph node andpulmonary metastasis. Our case demonstrated the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for correctly identifying tumor thrombus,detecting extent of tumor thrombus and distant metastasis in high grade glioma patients.
期刊介绍：
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
