Abstract

FDG PET-CT (F18-Flourodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) imaging is very useful in detection, staging, re-staging and monitoring therapy in various tumors. Rhabdomyosarcoma is known as an aggressive tumor and have a tendency of metastasize. Herein we report an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma case in a 22 year old male patient with a very rare pancreatic metastases.

Keywords
