HEAD/NECK:
Sections through the visualized brain demonstrate physiological uptake without any abnormal
focality. A large hypermetabolic mass is identified in the left sided nasopharyngeal region which
is reaching up to the right medial orbital wall, nasal bones, right maxilla. In its maximum
dimensions this mass measures 6.1 x 4.2 cm, SUV 13.9. Laterally this mass is extending into
the infratemporal fossa. Causing the infratemporal fossa and medial pterygoid plates. Left
maxillary sinus mucosal thickening is identified. Also noted is the opacification of the bilateral
ethmoidal sinuses likely due to tumor. No size significant or FDG avid cervical or supraclavicular
lymphadenopathy identified.
THORAX:
Hypermetabolic multilevel mediastinal lymphadenopathy is identified involving the AP window,
prevascular, precarinal, bilateral hilar and subcarinal nodal stations, for reference the left hilar
node measures 0.7 cm, SUV 4.8, the subcarinal node measures 0.7 cm, SUV 5.0. Atelectatic
changes are noted in the left lower lung which are non-FDG avid. Bilateral lower lungs non-FDG
avid. No suspicious pulmonary nodularity noted.
ABDOMEN/PELVIS:
Homogenous hepatosplenic uptake is identified. Specks of calcification is noted in the segment
IV-B of the liver. Gallbladder, adrenals and kidneys appear unremarkable. No size significant or

MUSCULOSKELETAL:
Multiple osseous destructive lesions are identified with FDG uptake involving the right humeral
head, T1/T2 vertebral body, right 4th and 7th vertebra, L5, right 7th rib, right iliac bone. The
osteolytic lesion at the T1/T2 vertebra has soft tissue component with intraspinal extension and
critical alert was communicated, was generated on the reviewing of the scan, SUV 5.3. The
involvement of the facial and nasal bones was discussed earlier. Left femoral shaft SUV 1.9, L5
vertebral body SUV 11.0. Focal linear uptake is also noted in the left arm muscles near the elbow
joint, SUV 4.1 likely stress related.
CONCLUSION : Hypermetabolic right nasopharyngeal tumor with local extension and mediastinal
lymphadenopathy and osseous lesions.
