Unusual Metastatic Sites in Malignant Phyllodes Tumor Detected on FDG PET/CT
Abstract: Phyllodes tumor is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm of the breast. This tumor tends to spread by hematogenous route, with common metastatic sites in the lungs, bones, and liver. Metastases to the pleura, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, and adrenal gland are rare. We present a case of a 52-year-old lady with malignant phyllodes tumor of breast undergone local tumor resection, followed by solitary lung metastasis with lobectomy, and subsequently diagnosed of multiple new metastatic sites in pleura, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal gland, and bone detected on 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography within 2 years.
