F18-FDG-PET/CT in a patient affected by Lynch syndrome
Nucl. Med. Rev 2010;13(2):87-89.
Abstract
Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary syndrome
that predisposes patients to colorectal cancer, and it accounts
for 2–5% of the total burden of colorectal cancer. We report
a case of a 61-year-old female affected by Lynch syndrome
who underwent multiple adenocarcinoma resections, studied
by F18-FDG-PET/CT for 5 years. This case report suggests
a potential role of F18-FDG-PET/CT in the evaluation of patients
affected by Lynch syndrome.
