چکیده
|
Background: despite the relative success of sur- gical resection followed by proton, proton/photon, or conventional radiotherapy in terms of recurrence-free survival, chordomas are still associated with a high rate of recurrence. to our knowledge there are only very few reported cases of this rare tumor detected by f-18 fdg-pet. materials and methods: in this case we show the significance of f-18 fdg-pet/ct in detection of recurrent chordoma in a 38 year old man with a history of the disease and a newly detected cervical lymphatic mass. results: the fused pet/ct images manifested the presence of two abnormal foci of tracer uptake corresponding to a retroclavicular and an infrajugular lymph node proved to be metastases of the previous chordoma in histopathology. conclusion: further employment of f-18 fdg-pet/ct in this rare tumour type might eventually define and establish its value in staging of chordoma.
