Massive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Combined With Giant Uterine Fibroid on 18 F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract

A 50-year-old woman was admitted due to a liver mass discovered by ultrasound in routine physical examination. MRI demonstrated a large hepatocellular carcinoma. It also discovered an abdominal mass simultaneously. 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed for staging. PET/CT showed mixed and mild metabolism of the hepatic lesion and giant abdominopelvic mass, respectively. Hepatocellular carcinoma combined with a benign mass in abdominopelvic cavity from uterine was considered and finally proved pathologically. We present a rare case of woman with large liver cancer accompanied by giant uterine fibroid where 18 F-FDG PET/CT helped in making the right diagnosis.
