Abstract

A 47-year-old man was diagnosed with left buccal squamous cell carcinoma using FDG PET/CT, by which focal lesions in the left buccal and left neck lymph node were found. Three months after the operation, CT images revealed a left lower lung lesion. Pathology indicated a left lower lung adenocarcinoma. Second FDG PET/CT was performed more than 11 days later, and lesions with intense FDG uptake were found in the left lower lung, metastatic to the lymph nodes, lungs, bones, and liver. The prior FDG PET/CT scan showed negative findings in the lungs. However, lung cancer with multiple metastases appeared 4 months later.
