RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of positron emission tomography CT scan in detecting axillary lymph node metastases compared to the pathology results in patients with primary breast cancer


Setting: Breast Surgery Unit, King Hamad University Hospital, Bahrain


Design: A Retrospective Comparative Study


Method: Twenty-one newly diagnosed females with invasive breast cancer and staged using FDGPET-CT scan. Images were evaluated by two experienced radiologists for any abnormal increase in axillary FDG uptake. Imaging results were compared to axillary lymph node pathology, such as sentinel lymph node biopsy, FNA cytology from axilla or axillary clearance


Result: All patients had histopathology results that matched the PET-CT finding except 2 [10%] patients who matched the CT scan alone but not the PET scan. The sensitivity of the PET-CT for detection of axillary lymph node metastasis in this series was 80% and the specificity was 100%. Both sensitivity and specificity were noted to be high compared to other published data


Conclusion: PET-CT scan is highly sensitive and specific in detecting axillary lymph nodes metastases in breast cancer. The sensitivity reached 80% and the specificity was 100% in our study; this could be attributed to the small number of patients and the improvement in the new generation of the PET-CT scanners with high resolution, which led to further increase in the diagnostic value. Therefore, recent evidence does not support the use of PET-CT scan to replace clinically negative axillary lymph nodes as initial assessment

RESUMO

A forty-seven-year-old male had a left-thigh trauma after a vehicular accident. The patient developed a left-thigh swelling which was managed by aspiration of a hematoma on admission and was performed twice within 3 months. Large seroma recollected and evacuation of the seroma and excision of the well-formed fibrous capsule was performed. We present this case to increase the awareness of physicians for better prevention and treatment of post-traumatic or postoperative seromas
