Restaging head and neck uvula cancer status post chemoradiation therapy.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 11.6 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 103 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates posttherapy changes in the neck. Right chest Port-A-Cath with tip in the SVC. Gastrostomy tube is noted.Today's PET examination demonstrates significant interval decrease in size and metabolic uptake of previous hypermetabolic left parapharyngeal lesion (SUV max = 12.2 previously, = 5.0 currently). The current moderate residual activity could reflect inflammation or some residual tumor metabolism.More inferiorly, a subcentimeter left jugular lymph node remains moderately hypermetabolic, unchanged from previous (SUV max = 5.3 previously, = 5.3 currently). This is of some suspicion for persistent tumor metabolism but could also represent inflammation.No new or additional suspicious FDG avid lesion seen elsewhere in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis.
1.Significant interval decrease in left parapharyngeal lesion indicating a significant metabolic response to therapy. Small residual moderate activity at this site and the stable moderate activity in a more inferior subcentimeter left jugular lymph node may reflect some residual tumor metabolism versus inflammation. Attention to these regions on future follow-up exams can be made.2.No additional suspicious FDG avid lesion elsewhere in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis.

There is trace grade 1 retrolisthesis of L3 on L4 and L4 on L5. The scout lateral view and the sagittal reformatted images demonstrate the lumbar spine to otherwise be in normal alignment, with a normal lumbar lordosis. There is mild anterior wedging of the L1 vertebral body. The vertebral body heights are otherwise well-maintained. There is multilevel disk space narrowing, to moderate-severe in degree at L3-L4.There are innumerable lucencies of varying sizes throughout the visualized vertebrae. There is extensive destruction involving the right hemisacrum with infiltration of the right S1-S2 foramen by tumor. At the L1 level, there is posterior vertebral body cortical disruption along the right side with evidence of epidural component of the tumor as seen on 4/10 measuring approximately 9 x 11 mm in greatest axial dimensions, by 18 mm CC. There is moderate narrowing of the central spinal canal at this level. At the L3 level, tumor within the left proximal transverse process likely extends into the left lateral epidural space as seen on 4/32. Within the right L3 lamina, there is a soft tissue mass which extends into the immediate right paraspinal fat. These are all findings consistent with known metastatic disease, progressed since previous body CT. At T12-L1, there is a mild disk bulge with right foraminal prominence resulting in minimal right foraminal narrowing.At L1-L2, there is a trace disk bulge with mild bilateral foraminal narrowing and mild suggest metastasis.At L2-L3, there is a mild disk bulge with left-sided prominence. There is mild to moderate central spinal canal stenosis and mild-moderate bilateral foraminal narrowing.At L3-L4, there is a mild diffuse posterior osteophyte disk complex. There is significant left facet arthropathy with overall moderate central spinal canal stenosis as well as moderate-severe left and moderate right foraminal narrowing.At L4-L5, there is a diffuse disk bulge with bilateral facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum thickening there is overall moderate to severe central spinal canal stenosis as well as moderate-severe bilateral foraminal narrowing.At L5-S1, there is a trace disk bulge with no significant stenosis.There are numerous bilateral pelvic surgical clips. There is a partially visualized right total hip replacement.
1. Progression of diffuse osseous lytic metastatic disease involving the visualized lumbosacral spine. Anterior wedge deformity of L1, consistent with pathologic compression fracture. Dorsal epidural spread of tumor at this level with moderate narrowing of the central spinal canal. Possible minimal extension of tumor into the epidural space at the L3 level from the metastatic lesion in the left transverse process. MR of the lumbar spine recommended for a more complete evaluation2. Destruction of the right hemisacrum with extension of tumor into the right S1-S2 foramen.3. Multilevel spondylotic changes as detailed above, including trace degenerative grade 1 subluxations.

Adenocarcinoma metastatic to the brain of unknown primary.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 16.0 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 97 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates left craniotomy defect with intraparenchymal hot areas of high and low density with intracranial air, similar to recent head CT. Prior right craniotomy defect also noted. Pulmonary emphysema atelectasis is present. Extensive atherosclerosis including coronary arterial calcifications are seen.Today's PET examination demonstrates altered are distribution with increased skeletal muscle activity suggesting a nonfasting/high insulin state which has the potential to limit the exam. A small markedly hypermetabolic focus is seen involving the sigmoid colon (SUV max = 6.2). While this may well represent an unusually focal benign physiologic colonic appearance, given the history, colonic neoplasm is conceivable.No additional abnormal FDG avid focus is identified. Decreased activity is seen involving bilateral cerebral hemispheres consistent with regions of tumor resection.
1.Small hypermetabolic sigmoid colon focus is present and while usually benign, colonic neoplasm is a consideration given the history. If there has not been a recent colonoscopy, this would be useful for further evaluation.2.Otherwise no suspicious FDG avid lesion.

Gastroesophageal cancer. Chemotherapy last given two weeks ago. Restaging exam.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 14.9 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 86 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates a large right and medium left pleural effusion. Large esophageal stent is noted. Ascites is present. There is extensive atherosclerotic including coronary arterial calcifications. Scattered sclerotic osseous foci are seen most notably within the pelvis.Today's PET examination demonstrates extensive benign brown fat hypermetabolism in the neck, chest, and upper abdomen which somewhat limits the interpretation. Moderately hypermetabolic distal esophageal region activity (SUV max = 7.9) is compatible with the patient's diagnosis of gastroesophageal cancer. More mildly FDG avid activity extends superiorly surrounding the esophageal stent which may reflect inflammatory reaction and/or tumor extension.Several small mildly hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the paraesophageal and gastrohepatic regions (SUV max = 3.9), are suspicious for regional lymph node metastases.Multiple small subtle but abnormal hypermetabolic osseous foci are seen including involvement of the left scapula, spine, bilateral iliac wings, bilateral acetabulae, bilateral proximal femurs, and left parasymphyseal region (SUV max = 4.2), highly suspicious for osseous metastases.
