Rare case of an ovarian vein tumor thrombosis identified on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
Fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography is valuable in the identification of tumor thrombus and differentiating it from bland thrombus which has implications in initiating anticoagulation. We present a rare case of tumor thrombosis in ovarian vein, in a recurrent case of uterine carcinosarcoma.
