Summary

Bone imaging revealed abnormal uptake in a patient with lung cancer and cerebrovascular disease, indicating intracranial disease. Follow-up imaging confirmed complete clearance of the abnormal uptake, suggesting resolution of the cerebral infarction.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Metastatic work-up for malignant lung tumors requires comprehensive evaluation, including assessment for cerebrovascular disease.
  • Bone imaging is a crucial tool in staging cancer and identifying metastatic lesions.

Observation:

  • Abnormal radiotracer uptake was detected in the right parietal region during bone imaging.
  • Emission computed tomography (ECT) localized the abnormality to intracranial disease.

Findings:

  • The observed uptake pattern was wedge-shaped, characteristic of cerebral infarction.
  • Subsequent follow-up imaging demonstrated complete resolution of the abnormal uptake.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering intracranial complications in lung cancer patients with cerebrovascular disease.
