  • Title: Postlaparoscopic abdominal port-site metastasis: F-18 FDG PET/CT demonstration.
    Author: Nguyen BD, Roarke MC.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2007 Sep; 32(9):732-4. PubMed ID: 17710031.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic surgery has expanded its applications to treatment of malignant neoplasms with lower morbidity and mortality compared with the ones carried by conventional procedures. With the increasing volume of this minimally invasive technique, complications such as port-site tumor seeding may have a higher occurrence. Abdominal wall metastasis has been reported with conventional cross-sectional imaging. The authors present 2 cases of early detection of port-site tumor implantation by PET/CT.
