59 yo postmenopausal female with ER/PR positive, ERBB2 negative breast cancer with biopsy confirmed metastasis to the left ischium and right adrenal gland. A) Baseline PET MIP image demonstrates metastatic disease of the right adrenal gland (small arrow) and the left ischium (large arrow). B) PET MIP image four months after baseline shows the FDG activity in the right adrenal and left ischium has resolved indicating response to therapy. However, a primary uterine tumor, which was barely detectable in the baseline study, grew during the same time frame (arrow). C) Baseline PET/CT (left panel): The non-contrast CT shows an enlarged right adrenal gland. D) Baseline PET/CT (right panel): The fused PET/CT demonstrates increased FDG activity in the enlarged right adrenal gland. E) Follow-up PET/CT: The fused PET/CT four months after baseline shows a decrease in FDG activity of the right adrenal gland. Note the corresponding decrease in size also.
