Abstract

A 58-year old patient with a history of subungual malign melanoma was referred to our department for a 18F-FDG positron emission tomography(PET)/computed tomography (CT) whole body scan. An unexpected 18F-FDG uptake in left ventricule which mimicked either trombus orphysiological papillary muscle was detected. Filling defect of intravenous contrast in CT images was also demonstrated in left ventricule cavity.Magnetic resonance imaging scan confirmed cardiac mass with metastatic features of malign melanoma in left ventricule

Özet

Subungual malign melanom tanılı 58 yaşında erkek hasta tüm vücut 18F-FDG pozitron emisyon tomografi (PET)/bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) görüntülemesi için birimimize başvurdu. PET/BT görüntüleri incelendiğinde kardiyak kesitlerde sol ventrikül düzeyinde fizyolojik papiller kas aktivitesine veya trombüse benzer görünümde artmış 18F-FDG tutulumu saptandı. BT kesitlerinde ventriküler kavitede kontrast dolum defekti izlendi. PET/BT sonrasında yapılan manyetik rezonans görüntülemesi ile olguda kardiyak malign melanom metastazı ile uyumlu bulgular saptandı.
