Abstract
- Two cases of postoperative female patients with ovarian serous papillary carcinoma were referred for F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) PET/CT to evaluate suspicious recurrence and/or metastasis. One patient presented with multiple extensive calcified lesions with increased FDG uptake in the abdominopelvic cavity and the series of PET/CT scans showed progression of disease after chemotherapy. The other patient presented with three calcified masses with intensive uptake of FDG located in the left pelvis, the right subphrenic region, and the right supradiaphragmatic area, respectively. These suggest that F-18 FDG PET/CT can be useful in identifying malignant calcification and assessing therapeutic response of calcified malignancy.
