RESUMO
We report the clinical value of FDG PET/CT imaging in a 57-year-old woman who was diagnosed with uterine leimyosarcoma 6 years ago. In a staging procedure, whole body FDG PET/CT discloses the presence of both local recurrence and remote metastases at widespread musculocutaneous sites, liver and femur. With its advantage of scanning the whole body in a single procedure, we propose the use of PET/CT imaging for the evaluation of patients with uterine leimyosarcomas, a tumor with a propensity for widespread hematogenous spread to unusual sites.
