1 The utility of positron emission tomography for the diagnosis and staging of recurrent esophageal cancer  P. Flamen, MD, A. Lerut, MD, PhD, E. Van Cutsem, MD, PhD, J.P. Cambier, MD, A. Maes, MD, PhD, W. De Wever, MD, M. Peeters, MD, PhD, P. De Leyn, MD, PhD, D. Van Raemdonck, MD, PhD, L.

2 Fig. 1 Example of a false-positive FDG-PET finding at the anastomosis. This patient had dysphagia 1 year after a subtotal esophagogastrectomy and cervical esophagogastrostomy. Endoscopy indicated a benign intrinsic stenosis of the esophagogastric anastomosis and an endoscopic dilatation was succesfully performed. Two weeks later the PET scan showed an intense focal hot spot in the upper mediastinum. Seven months' clinical and radiologic follow-up did not show any signs of recurrent disease.

3 Fig. 2 Example of a whole-body FDG-PET in a patient having hoarseness 6 months after a subtotal esophagogastrectomy and cervical esophagogastrostomy for a spinocellular epithelioma staged pT3 N1 Mb. CDW, including endoscopy and CT, did not demonstrate recurrent tumor. FDG-PET showed multiple sites of tumor recurrences in the upper mediastinum (A), upper abdominal retroperitoneum (B), and in the perigastric area (C). All these lesions were confirmed by radiologic follow-up 3 months later.
