Use of 18F-Fdg Pet/Ct In the Staging of a Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Lymphoepithelioma: Case Report

 

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal lymphoepithelioma is a rare condition, especially when metastatic. The study of positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) using fluoroxyglucose (FDG) labeled with Fluorine-18 (PET/CT- 18FDG) is well established for head and neck tumors. In this case report we identified, in a 20-year-old patient, multiple lymph node enlargements and bone lesions that complemented the staging and provided a targeted treatment for this metastatic scenario.

Keywords:Fluorodeoxyglucose F18; positron emission tomography computed tomography; nasopharyngeal neoplasms
