Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 73-year-old man underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) for the staging of colon cancer. The 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed three colonic lesions. The histopathologic examination of the postoperative gross specimen revealed a tubular adenoma, a tubulovillous adenoma and an adenocarinoma. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of a tubulovillous adenoma was much higher than that of adenocarcinoma. This patient could be considered as a representative case highlighting that SUVmax is not a reliable indicator for discriminating colon cancer from colonic adenomas.
