Detection of synchronous carcinomas of the colon with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose: a case report.
Colon and rectal carcinomas are common in North America and Northwestern Europe. In South America, the risk of this disease is not as great. Adenocarcinomas are the most common types of tumors, and they occur mainly in the descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum. A patient with a possible right colon carcinoma was examined using F-18 FDG.
