Clinical stage IIIB cervical cancer. Complete staging exam.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 8.8 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 99 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates several calcified splenic granulomata. Dilation of the left upper renal collecting system is noted. Several enlarged bilateral iliac lymph nodes are seen. Mass-like enlargement of the cervix/uterus is noted. Pelvic ascites is seen. Foley catheter with air in the bladder is also noted.Today's PET examination demonstrates a large markedly hypermetabolic cervical/uterine mass (SUV max = 11.3), compatible the patient's diagnosis of cervical cancer.Several enlarged moderately hypermetabolic bilateral external and internal iliac pelvic lymph nodes (SUV max = 5.7), are compatible with regional lymph node metastases. Significantly more superiorly within the left periaortic abdominal retroperitoneum at the level of the lower portion of the left kidney, there is a borderline enlarged more mildly FDG avid lymph node (SUV max = 3.1). This is of some suspicion for additional lymph node metastatic disease although given the lower level of uptake and somewhat more distant location, this could also represent an inflammatory lymph node.No additional suspicious FDG avid lesion to indicate tumor elsewhere. There is significant abnormality of the left kidney with delayed excretion of radiotracer with a dilated left collecting system which likely represents more distal ureteral obstruction from the pelvic mass with resultant left renal parenchymal dysfunction.

There is evidence of surgery/dissection in the left neck with volume loss and infiltration of the fascial planes as well as numerous scattered surgical clips. Since the prior examination, a large cystic lesion in the left supraclavicular fossa has been resected with new surgical findings correlating to that procedure. Medial to the operative bed, there is a new apparently thick-walled cystic lesion measuring 44 x 31 mm (series 6, image 59) which abuts the paraspinal musculature. No osseous erosion or evidence of encroachment on the neural foramina or spinal canal within the limitation of a CT examination. Just inferior to the resection bed, there is a discrete nodule which measures 15 mm (series 6, image 63). Additionally, there is a subcentimeter calcified node anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of the parotid gland on the left which shows increasing calcification and may represent a a treated node. A nodule in the right aspect of the mediastinum measures 11 mm (series 6, image 73), previously measuring 3 to 4 mm.The parotid glands, submandibular glands and thyroid lobes are symmetric bilaterally. No thyroid masses are identified bilaterally. There are no nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal or laryngeal masses identified. There is no airway compromise. Prominent retrocerebellar fluid on the right is unchanged. Multilevel cervical spondylosis.

Small cell lung cancer pre-chemotherapy. CHEST:LUNGS AND PLEURA: There is significant dependent and compressive atelectasis due to scanning during supine patient positioning. Dominant nodule in the right upper lobe with incomplete occlusion of the apical segmental bronchus measures 2.5 x 1.7 cm and is inseparable from the adjacent mediastinal pleural surface (6/26). This lesion extends centrally in a contiguous fashion to be right hilum where a soft tissue mass occurs over a 3.6-cm transverse of this length, inseparable from adjacent lymphadenopathy (axial series, image 30) as well as the distal trachea and right main bronchus. Multiple pulmonary nodules are noted on the right measuring up to 2.3 cm in length (6/30, subpleural). Tumor medial to be right upper lobe anterior bronchus is inseparable from the pericardium (axial series, image 35).Enlarged subpleural lymph nodes along the right minor fissure (6/38).MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Normal heart size. Mitral annulus calcification. Poorly defined soft tissue containing calcifications extends from the right paratracheal chain at the level of the aortic arch (axial image 24) to the low right paratracheal chain, crossing the midline to the left at the level of the carina; For reference this measures at least 4.1-cm in craniocaudal length by at least 3-cm transversely. Heterogeneously enhancing and centrally necrotic soft tissue adjacent to branches of the right lower lobe bronchus (axial image 47) may reflect lymphadenopathy or a parenchymal metastasis; this is inseparable from the mediastinal pleural surface and adjacent bronchovascular bundles.Right chest port with tip at the SVC/RA junction.CHEST WALL: No significant abnormality noted.ABDOMEN: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: Subcentimeter hypoattenuating lesion in the right hepatic lobe too small to accurately characterize, nonspecific.SPLEEN: No significant abnormality noted.ADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.KIDNEYS, URETERS: No significant abnormality noted.PANCREAS: No significant abnormality noted.RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: Atherosclerotic calcification of the aorta and its branches.BOWEL, MESENTERY: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for GI pathology.No gross abnormalities noted.BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: No significant abnormality noted.
Examination is limited by severe underinflation and compressive atelectasis due to scanning of the patient in the prone position. In addition, motion artifact is present. Within this limitation, the following observations were made:1. Right upper lobe anterior segment lesion extends centrally, inseparable from the right hilum. There is subsegmental collapse within the anterior and medial segments due to soft tissue lesions and multiple subpleural and parenchymal nodules within the right upper lobe are suspicious for metastatic lesions.2. Enlarged subpleural lymph nodes along the right minor fissure suspicious for pleural metastatic lesions. 3. It is unclear whether the right lower lobe lesion is a metastatic lymph node or a parenchymal lung lesion with extension to the adjacent bronchovascular bundle.4. No visible skeletal, adrenal gland or hepatic metastases.5. It is strongly recommended the due to limitations of this study correlation be made with accompanying PET scan which will be reported separately.

Lung cancer staging.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 7.8 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 99 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates an approximately 7-cm left upper lobe pulmonary mass with some adjacent interstitial and groundglass opacities. A medium-sized left pleural effusion is present. Scattered enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes are noted. Extensive atherosclerotic including coronary arterial calcifications are seen.Today's PET examination demonstrates large markedly hypermetabolic left upper lobe mass (SUV max = 24.3), compatible with the diagnosis of lung cancer.In the adjacent left AP window, a slightly enlarged but markedly hypermetabolic mediastinal lymph node (SUV max = 12.5), is a very suspicious for regional lymph node metastasis.Elsewhere in the mediastinum there are multiple smaller significantly more mildly hypermetabolic lymph nodes seen symmetrically in both hilar regions as well as paratracheal and anterior mediastinal stations. Given the significantly lower level of activity and their locations including symmetry, these are felt to represent superimposed granulomatous inflammation rather than additional lymph node metastases.No suspicious FDG avid lesion is seen within the abdomen, pelvis, or visualized skeleton.
1.Markedly hypermetabolic left upper lobe mass, compatible with the history of lung cancer.2.Single markedly hypermetabolic left AP window lymph node likely represents ipsilateral lymph node metastasis.3.Multiple additional fairly symmetric bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes which are only mildly FDG avid and considered more likely superimposed inflammation although additional metastatic disease cannot be entirely excluded.4.No suspicious FDG avid lesion in the abdomen, pelvis, or skeleton.

Staging newly diagnosed gastric cancer. Evaluate extent of disease. RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 10.4 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 98 mg/dL. Today's CT portion of the neck demonstrates no significant pathology. Please see diagnostic CT reports for details of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.Today's PET examination demonstrates a subcentimeter but significantly hypermetabolic focus corresponding to the superior right thyroid lobe (SUV max = 6.4). This is compatible with a primary thyroid nodule which may be benign or malignant.Multiple small symmetric mild to moderately hypermetabolic bilateral hilar, paratracheal, and subcarinal lymph nodes have a typical distribution for granulomatous inflammation although metastatic disease cannot be entirely excluded.A large markedly hypermetabolic mass in the gastric antrum is noted (SUV max = 28.0), compatible with the history of gastric cancer.Several adjacent small but significantly hypermetabolic gastrohepatic lymph nodes (SUV max = 10.3) are compatible with adjacent lymph node metastases.Small linear mild to moderately hypermetabolic activity involving the left adrenal gland (SUV max = 5.0) has features on PET as well as the diagnostic CT more suggestive of a benign lesion than metastatic.No additional suspicious FDG avid lesion elsewhere. Physiologic excreted activity in ileo-conduit is noted.
1.Large markedly hypermetabolic gastric antral mass, compatible with the history of gastric carcinoma.2.Several adjacent hypermetabolic gastrohepatic lymph nodes, consistent with regional lymph node metastases.3.No convincing FDG avid metastatic disease elsewhere. Symmetric mediastinal/hilar lymph node activity is considered probably benign granulomatous rather than the less likely possibility of metastatic. Left adrenal focus is also considered most likely benign.4.Subcentimeter markedly hypermetabolic right superior thyroid nodule may be a benign or malignant primary thyroid nodule. Further evaluation with thyroid ultrasound can be made as clinically warranted.Diagnostic CTs of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis also performed at today's visit will be reported separately.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.

Mesothelioma pre-clinical trial.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 9.8 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 99 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates diffuse left pleural thickening involving nearly all of the left pleural surface with left basilar consolidation and diffuse left interstitial opacities. There are bilateral pleural effusions and a moderate pericardial effusion. There are bilateral mastectomies and a left breast prosthesis. There are numerous enlarged mediastinal and left axillary lymph nodes. There are enlarged lymph nodes in the upper abdomen including the paraesophageal, gastrohepatic, and retroperitoneal stations. The left kidney is markedly atrophic. There is a small amount of ascites.Today's PET examination demonstrates very extensive markedly hypermetabolic left pleural thickening involving nearly the entire left pleural surface. Although there is slightly decreased activity compared to the prior examination, there is significantly increased extent of disease consistent with tumor progression. There is also progression of hypermetabolic activity within the pulmonary parenchyma of the left lung base which may represent tumor progression or inflammation. Additionally within the thorax, there are numerous markedly hypermetabolic bilateral supraclavicular, left axillary, mediastinal, and left chest wall lymph nodes which have significantly progressed in size, number, and hypermetabolic activity compared to the previous examination (max SUV of 7.5). In the upper abdomen, there are multiple markedly hypermetabolic abdominal, retroperitoneal, and gastrohepatic lymph nodes compatible with metastatic disease. Although, one of these nodes has decreased in size and activity, there are multiple others which are new, which is consistent with progression of tumor (max SUV of 5.8).
1.Markedly hypermetabolic left pleural thickening involving nearly the entire left pleural surface has significantly increased in extent compatible with tumor progression. Additionally, increased activity within the left lung parenchyma may reflect additional tumor progression or inflammation. 2.Numerous new hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the thorax and upper abdomen are consistent with tumor progression.3.Bilateral pleural effusions and a moderate pericardial effusion.

Female, 96 years old, with lethargy and decreased mentation, prior posttraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Please compare to previous. Hyperattenuating blood product seen on the prior examination in the right parietal lobe and along the right occipital and temporal lobes has resolved. Hypoattenuation and encephalomalacia are now seen in these locations.No evidence of any new or acute intracranial hemorrhage is seen. No new abnormal extra axial fluid collections are detected. Periventricular hypoattenuation is demonstrated, a nonspecific finding.The ventricles and sulci are generally prominent compatible with volume loss, though the caliber of the lateral ventricles has increased mildly but diffusely. Along the right lateral ventricle, this may reflect some degree of ex vacuo dilatation from evolution of hemorrhage, but the other components of the lateral ventricles are also slightly larger. The osseous structures of the skull are intact. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. A small hematoma is present in the midline posterior scalp.
1.Resolution of previously seen hyperdense hemorrhage with encephalomalacia now seen in those locations.2.Mild interval increase in caliber of the lateral ventricles is seen which cannot be entirely attributed to ex vacuo dilatation. The etiology and significance of this finding are uncertain.3.Redemonstration of periventricular hypoattenuation which likely reflects age indeterminate microvascular disease.4.Small hematoma in the posterior midline scalp.

Restaging small cell lung cancer prior to clinical trial.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 9.9 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 106 mg/dL. Today's CT portion of the neck and pelvis demonstrates a right hip prosthesis but otherwise no significant pathology. Please see diagnostic CT reports for details of the chest and upper abdomen.Today's PET examination demonstrates a small but significantly hypermetabolic nodule in the right lung apex (SUV max = 5.2), compatible with recurrent lung cancer. A moderately enlarged markedly hypermetabolic right hilar lymph node (SUV max = 7.6), indicates mediastinal metastases. Several additional small but significantly hypermetabolic right thoracic foci seen along the right anterior mediastinum, the right infrahilar region as well as a punctate focus at the medial right lung base are compatible with additional foci of right thoracic tumor activity.No convincing contralateral thoracic FDG avid tumor identified. Curvilinear region of left mediastinal activity superior to the left ventricle is considered most likely to represent unusually prominent but benign atrial appendage.No suspicious FDG avid lesion identified within the abdomen, pelvis, or visualized skeleton.

Right sided hydronephrosis. Duplex right kidney. There is prompt perfusion, uptake and excretion of the left kidney. No evidence of left collecting system dilation or obstruction. The right kidney demonstrates somewhat delayed perfusion. The right upper moiety demonstrates prompt uptake and excretion without evidence of collecting system dilation or obstruction. The right lower moiety demonstrates delayed and diminished uptake and excretion into a moderately dilated right lower pelvocaliceal system. There is slow washout from the right lower moiety collecting system. This could be due to obstruction or poor right lower moiety parenchymal function.The estimated contribution of the right kidney to total renal function is 64% and that of the left kidney is 36%.When comparing the right upper moiety versus the right lower moiety, the relative function of the right upper moiety was 83% versus 17% for the right lower moiety. The T1/2 washout of the right upper moiety was 3 minutes whereas that of the right lower moiety was not reached.
1.Normal appearing left kidney and its collecting system.2.Normal upper moiety of the right kidney and its collecting system. 3.Significantly diminished parenchymal function of the right lower moiety as well as moderately dilated right lower collecting system with poor washout which could be due to lower moeity obstruction or manifestation of poor lower parenchymal function. This leads to significantly diminished function of the right lower moiety compared to the right upper moiety (and hence decreased total right kidney compared to the left kidney, as quantified above).

Reason: evaluate R middle lobe opacity, ? PNA, infarct vs. neoplasm History: R middle lobe infarct, recurrent fevers LUNGS AND PLEURA: Right perihilar solid, nodular area of consolidation ( new from prior CT imaging dated 01/2004) with extension anteriorly and inferiorly, and scattered surrounding ground glass and nodularity. This measures up to 28 x 23 mm (series 7, image 34). This finding corresponds with the opacity seen on recent prior chest radiographs, and is likely new from the prior radiograph dated 12/16/2014. The associated bronchus is mildly narrowed.Basilar subsegmental atelectasis/scarring. Scattered groundglass and small areas of consolidation in the left lower lobe, may relate to aspiration/infection.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: The heart is mildly enlarged, without pericardial effusion. No visible coronary artery calcification.Right IJ central venous catheter, tip at the cavoatrial junction.Scattered prominent mediastinal lymph nodes. A precarinal lymph node measures 10 mm (series 5, image 27).Small hiatal hernia.CHEST WALL: Degenerative disease of the thoracic spine.UPPER ABDOMEN: Absence of IV and enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. Rounded dense calcification at the splenic hilum may represent a splenic artery aneurysm, unchanged from 01/2004
Right perihilar solid, nodular area of consolidation corresponds with the opacity seen on recent prior chest radiographs. Given the relatively short time course of this abnormality on recent radiographs, infectious process is more likely, but the appearance is worrisome for tumor, and rapidly growing neoplasm cannot be excluded. Recommend followup CT exam with IV contrast in 6-8 weeks.

Image 50 series 7.Displacement of adjacent anatomic structures seen with abdominal aorta deviated towards the right. Associated encasement of celiac axis and its branches as well as superior mesenteric artery seen. ADRENAL GLANDS: Aforementioned mass inseparable from portion of left adrenal gland, appearance suspicious for invasion, image 87 series 8. Diffusely thickened right adrenal gland, nonspecific. KIDNEYS, URETERS: Symmetric renal enhancement. No hydronephrosis. RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: Adenopathy, including periceliac/gastrohepatic and pelvic adenopathy. Reference lymph node measuring 1.7 x 1.6 cm, image 89 series 8/coronal image 62 series 80588. Reference right common iliac lymph node, measuring 1.4 x 1.1 cm, image 132 series 8. Small inguinal nodes. Aortobiiliac atherosclerotic calcifications. Mild luminal heterogeneity in right superficial femoral vein, nonspecific. BOWEL, MESENTERY: Bowel including stomach deviated peripherally. Gastric lumen markedly narrowed as a result of mass effect from large pancreatic mass. Underlying neoplastic invasion of adjacent bowel not entirely excluded but no bowel dilatation seen to suggest obstruction at this time. No ascites.PELVIS:UTERUS, ADNEXA: No significant abnormality noted.BLADDER: No significant abnormality noted.BONES, SOFT TISSUES: Multilevel degenerative changes of spine. Diffuse decreased osseous mineralization. Dextroscoliosis of spine.
1. Large heterogeneous soft tissue mass involving majority of pancreas, compatible with patient's history of metastatic disease. 2. Periceliac and pelvic adenopathy, reference nodes as above.
