An Extraordinary Location of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in a Patient with Endometrial Cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Objective: Provide a step-by-step demonstration of the technique for sentinel lymph node dissection in endometrial cancer patients using indocyanine green (ICG).
- Setting: Highlight the advantages of minimally invasive surgical approaches for staging endometrial cancer compared to traditional methods, which involve fewer complications.
- Interventions: Document a specific case of a 45-year-old female undergoing laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection and hysterectomy, noting that the procedure was successful with no major complications and a quick recovery.
Aim Of Study: While using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) for other than thyroid disease, an increased frequency of incidentally discovered areas of focally or diffuse increased uptake within the thyroid gland can be seen. We aimed to find the focal thyroid FDG uptake and compare the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) results with cytology and histology results.
Materials And Methods: We examined PET scan reports for all patients undergoing FDG PET/CT investigation over a 10-year period in a single center.
Purpose: The present study aimed to determine if the specific characteristics of fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) analyses of the FCD subgroups were compatible with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical findings of the patients in these subgroups.
Methods: This study included 71 patients who had a presurgical evaluation workup performed due to drug-resistant seizures, who underwent epilepsy surgery, and who were histopathologically diagnosed with FCD. Relationships involving MRI and FDG-PET findings and clinical data from pathological subgroups and patients were assessed.
Laryngeal cancer is the second most common type of head and neck malignancy, representing approximately 45% of all head and neck cancers. Hematogenous spread to the liver rarely occurs without evidence of pulmonary and bone disease. We report a patient who had been treated 7 years earlier for laryngeal squamous cell cancer and who had isolated liver metastasis on fluorodeoxy D-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
