Abstract

A 48-year-old female with complaints of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, and weight loss was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumor after removal of a 2 mm lesion from the stomach with endoscopic biopsy. Her magnetic resonance imaging that was performed due to on-going symptoms showed multiple linear hypointense lesions in the liver. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan was performed for differential diagnosis, which showed high fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in these lesions. Clinical and laboratory findings revealed the final diagnosis as Fasciola hepatica. The imaging features of this case is presented to aid in differentiating this infectious disease from malignancy and avoid misdiagnosis on FDG-PET/CT

Özet

Kırk-sekiz yaşında karın ağrısı, yorgunluk, bulantı, kusma ve kilo kaybı şikayetleri ile başvuran kadın hastada midede nöroendokrin tümör saptandı. Şikayetlerinin devam etmesi üzerine yapılan manyetik rezonans görüntülemede karaciğerde multipl odakta lineer hipointens alanlar saptandı. Ayırıcı tanı amacıyla pozitron emisyon tomografisi/bilgisayarlı tomografi (PET/BT) çekimi için kliniğimize refere edilen hastanın PET/BT görüntülerinde multipl odakta yüksek florodeoksiglukoz tutulumu gözlendi. Hastaya klinik ve laboratuvar tetkikleri ile Fasciola hepatica tanısı kondu. Bu olgu, enfeksiyöz hastalıkların maligniteden ayrımı ve PET/BT'de yanlış değerlendirmenin önlenmesi amacıyla bildirilmektedir
