title: Pancreatic and thyroid metastases detected with 18F-FDG PET/CT in patient with colorectal cancer.
abstract: A 53-year-old woman with diagnosis of colorectal cancer, who received surgical treatment and chemotherapy. After 5-years of complete remission, she showed an atypical oncological evolution. The utility of (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan has been fundamental to detect suspected and unsuspected recurrence and to monitor response to treatment.
