The patient underwent all the standard lines of treatment; however, during treatment, she experienced a new onset of headaches and seizures. A follow-up [18F]F-FDG PET/CT was performed (Fig. 1b) on a dedicated GE Discovery 710* 128 Slice PET/CT Scanner, in which the maximum-intensity projection image (MIP) (Fig. 1b) revealed evidence of extensive involvement of disease in known sites, namely, the loco-regional, lungs, liver and bones. However, due to the detection of a new brain lesion, the patient was classified as having a progressive disease (Fig. 1b). …Anzeige
