  • Title: Isolated asymptomatic skeletal muscle metastasis in a potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer: detection with FDG PET-CT scanning.
    Author: Purandare NC, Rangarajan V, Pramesh CS, Rajnish A, Shah S, Dua SG.
    Journal: Cancer Imaging; 2008 Dec 01; 8(1):216-9. PubMed ID: 19042177.
    Abstract:
    Asymptomatic skeletal muscle metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer is a rare event particularly when it is detected at initial staging. This report describes how whole body imaging with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) detected a solitary asymptomatic metastasis to the gluteus maximus muscle in a potentially resectable case of non-small cell lung cancer, thereby changing the treatment plan from surgical resection to systemic chemotherapy.
