Abstract
Solid papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare low-grade tumor of the breast with unique histology and frequent neuroendocrine differentiation. The tumor usually affects older women with a favorable prognosis. We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a patient with unilateral invasive solid papillary carcinoma of the breast with ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis. The primary breast tumor showed focal intense activity (SUVmax, 8.8), and the enlarged metastatic axillary lymph node showed higher FDG uptake (SUVmax, 17.8) than the primary tumor. This case indicates that FDG PET/CT may be useful for staging this rare tumor, which needs further investigation.
