Abstract:
Carcinoma cervix spread to locoregional lymph nodes. Distance metastases are uncommon and occur through hematogenous routes in advanced stages. The common sites include bone and lungs. Another organ involvement is uncommon. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging have a crucial role in diagnosing local and distant metastasis. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT (18F-FDG PET/CT) is a sensitive molecular imaging modality for various cancers, including gynecological ones. We present a case of recurrent cervical carcinoma presented with cervical mass and several rare visceral metastases. 18F-FDG PET/CT is a whole-body modality that accurately localized all lesions in a single study.
