Detection of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Peritoneal Lesions by SPECT/CT and ROLL Technique

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Oct;44(10):826-828. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002725.

Abstract

We reported the preoperative radio-guided localization of 4 peritoneal metastatic nodules in the case of a 45-year-old woman with uterine leiomyosarcoma. Three lines of chemotherapy were tried, but cardiotoxicity occurred. Within the context of so-called GOSTT (guided intraoperative scintigraphic tumor targeting), preoperative radio-guided localization of peritoneal metastases enabled their subsequent radio-guided excisional biopsy. SPECT/CT allowed for anatomical localization of the hot lesions and generated a 3-dimensional volume-rendering roadmap, facilitating a surgical approach.
