Abstract
|

|
|
A 53-year-old woman was diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma by vaginal bleeding. F-18 fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography PET/CT (F-18 FDG PET/CT) scan for staging showed intense focal FDG uptake in the endometrium suggesting endometrial malignancy. PET/CT showed multiple node uptakes in the pericaval region, paraaortic region, common iliac, and both internal iliac and external iliac regions suggesting multiple pelvic and retroperitoneal node metastases. MRI showed multiple metastatic lymphadenopathy in the retroperitoneum and pelvic cavity. Pathologic diagnosis performed with dissected pelvic and paraaortic nodes was confirmed as a follicular malignant lymphoma positive for B?cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) stain, not the metastatic node of primary endometrioid carcinoma.
