Abstract
Breast carcinomas are well known for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) however there are other malignancies that are also express ER, possibly confounding the diagnostic interpretation of 16α-[18F]fluoro-17β-estradiol (FES; Cerianna GE HealthCare) in patients with both ER+ breast carcinomas and other malignancies. We present a case of a woman with prior history of both ER+ breast carcinoma and pulmonary adenocarcinoma with subsequent identification of an FES pulmonary nodule that was proven on histopathology to be consistent with an ER expressing pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastasis
众所周知,乳腺癌会表达雌激素受体(ER),但其他恶性肿瘤也会表达ER,这可能会混淆16α-[18F]氟-17β-雌二醇(FES;Cerianna GE HealthCare)对ER+乳腺癌和其他恶性肿瘤患者的诊断解释。我们介绍了一例女性病例,该女性既有ER+乳腺癌病史,又有肺腺癌病史,随后发现了一个FES肺结节,组织病理学证实该结节与ER表达的肺腺癌转移一致。
