Clin Nucl Med. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000005127. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe involvement of the ureter as a site of metastasis of colorectal cancer is quite rare. Here we present FDG PET/CT findings of the right ureter metastasis from colon cancer in a patient after colectomy 6 years ago. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed increased 18F-FDG uptake in the right ureter with SUVmax of 4.3. The pathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of ureter metastasis from colon cancer.PMID:38409759 | DOI:10.1097/RLU.0000000000005127
