Özet
We report F-18 FDG-PET/CT images of MRI-correlated spine
metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A 50-yearold woman was admitted to hospital with shortness of breath,
chest pain, back pain and hemoptysis. She had a diagnosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer by lung biopsy. F-18 FDG-PET/CT study was
carried out for staging. PET/CT imaging showed a gross mass in
the upper lobe of the right lung, mediastinal, right cervical and
supraclavicular metastatic lymph nodes, liver metastasis and multiple bone and muscle metastasis. Also, there was an increased
FDG uptake in the spine in the level of 11th thoracic vertebrae
(SUVmax: 6.9). This focal lesion was an intramedullary metastasis. Correlation with MRI showed that intramedullary mass

imaging. PET/CT showed an increased FDG uptake in the spine at the level of 11th thoracic vertebrae (SUVmax: 6.9). This focal lesion was an intramedullary metastasis.
