title: Pulmonary tumor embolism derived from stomach cancer observation with serial 18F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Stomach cancer is one of malignancies that may result in pulmonary tumor embolism. Pulmonary tumor embolism commonly presents with dyspnea and cor pulmonale signs. We report serial observations of pulmonary tumor embolism with 18F-FDG PET/CT. 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed chronological changes of FDG uptake in both lung fields.
