title: Solitary Internal Mammary Lymph Node Metastases Detected by F-FDG-PET/CT in Ovarian Cancer.
abstract: Internal mammary lymph nodes as solitary site of recurrent ovarian cancer have not been previously described. In this case report, 3 cases of late and very late isolated recurrence in internal mammary lymph nodes are presented. (18)F-FDG-PET/CT allowed the diagnosis which was suspected by the increase of the serum CA-125 level in 2 out of 3 cases. Local treatment, consisting of surgery (in 2 patients) and radiation therapy (in 1 patient), permitted an optimal long-term disease control.
