Use of 18F-FDG PET CT for Evaluation of Rarely Seen Adenocarcinoma of Cervix Uteri Before and After Therapy

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma is the second most frequent (%15-20) cervical carcinoma, following squamous cell carcinoma (%80) (Fujiwara et al. in Curr Oncol Rep 16:416, 2014 Dec). Other rare type of cancers can occur in cervix, such as adenosquamous, small cell, lymphomas and sarcomas. Here, we present the 44-year-old woman diagnosed with usual type of cervix adenocarcinoma with low FDG uptake, staged and followed up with 18F-FDG PET CT.
