RESUMEN
Presentamos los casos de dos pacientes oncológicos varón con enfermedad de Hodgkin tras finalizar tratamiento quimioterápico y mujer recién diagnosticada de melanoma coroideo, a los que se realiza tomografía por emisión de positrones/tomografía computarizada (PET/TC) con 18F-fluorodesoxiglucosa ( 18F-FDG) para monitorización terapéutica y estudio de extensión inicial, respectivamente. En ambos casos se encuentran focos hipermetabólicos de 18F-FDG en parénquima pulmonar, sin concordancia morfológica en la TC. Estos hallazgos hubieran sugerido patología pulmonar en caso de no disponer de estudio anatómico conjunto. La interpretación de la PET/TC fue de microembolismos pulmonares probablemente originados en el punto de inyección
ABSTRACT
We present the cases of two oncology patients a male with Hodgkin's disease after completion of chemotherapy, and a woman recently diagnosed of melanoma, who underwent positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-FDG for therapeutic monitoring and initial staging, respectively. In both cases, hypermetabolic foci of 18F-FDG in lung parenchyma were found, without morphologic abnormalities in CT. These findings would have been consistent with lung pathology in the absence of any anatomic correlation. Combined PET/CT interpretation was of lung microembolisms probably originated at the injection site
