Abstract
Although mucocutaneous sites are the most frequently encountered sites of involvement, Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) may also occasionally involve the breast and the skeletal, endocrine, urinary and nervous systems.. Various imaging modalities may be used to delineate the extent of the disease by detecting unexpected sites of involvement. Herein, we report a case of classical type KS, in whom staging with 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging disclosed widespread disease and unexpected findings of bone and salivary gland involvement.Aunque el sarcoma de Kaposi (SK) se localiza comúnmente en mucosas y piel, ocasionalmente se pueden observar afectaciones de sistema esquelético, endocrino, urinario y nervioso. Diversos procedimientos de imagen se usan para determinar la extensión de la enfermedad, descubriendo localizaciones no sospechadas por la clínica. En este trabajo presentamos un SK clásico en el que la estadificación con 18F-FDG PET/TC identificó una inesperada afectación ósea y de glándula salivar.
