Abstract

F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET) imaging is a useful modality in the detection of various tumors, including gastric cancer. We evaluated a patient with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma with multiple liver and lymph node metastases using F-18 FDG PET imaging. It revealed tumor uptake in the stomach, liver, and abdominal lymph nodes. These findings suggest that F-18 FDG PET imaging may be useful in detecting the primary and metastatic lesions of a gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma.
