Title: 18F-FDG PET/CT of Primary Mediastinal Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma. Author: Hu N, Tan Y, Luo J, Cheng Z, Wang Y. Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2016 Apr; 41(4):321-2. PubMed ID: 26914554. Abstract: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma is a rare extrahepatic tumor that shows clinicopathologic and morphologic similarities to hepatocellular carcinoma. An FDG PET/CT imaging of primary mediastinal hepatoid adenocarcinoma in a 43-year-old man who had an elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein level was reported in this case. The patient's mediastinal lesion had avid FDG uptake. Hepatoid adenocarcinoma should be considered among the differential diagnoses when an FDG-avid extrahepatic mass is seen in patients with increased alpha-fetoprotein.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
