Abstract

Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare neoplasms. We here present the case of a 24 year old male with a cardiac mass which was characterised as malignant on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PETCT). In addition 18F-FDG PET-CT also demonstrated pericardial infiltration and bone metastases. The tumor was confirmed to be angiosarcoma on biopsy and palliative chemotherapy was started. Here we have highlighted the potential role of 18F-FDG PET-CT in patients with cardiac angiosarcoma and presented a brief review.

Özet

Kardiyak anjiyosarkomlar nadir neoplazilerdir. Bu makalede 18F-Florodeoksiglukoz (18F-FDG) pozitron emisyon tomografibilgisayarlı tomografi (PET-BT) ile malin olduğu saptanan kardiyak kitlesi olan 24 yaşında bir olguyu sunduk. 18F-FDG PET-BT aynı zamanda perikardiyal infiltrasyon ve kemik metastazını da gösterdi. Tümör, biyopsi sonucunda anjiyosarkom olarak doğrulandı ve palyatif kemoterapiye başlandı. Bu makalede kardiyak anjiyosarkomlu hastalarda 18F-FDG PET-BT’nin potansiyel rolünü vurguladık ve kısa bir derleme sunduk.
