Abstract |
A 69-year-old woman was presented with progressed dysphagia, gastric soreness and weight loss during 2 months.
She was performed abdomen x-ray, EGDS and abdomen CT. Abdomen x-ray demonstrated punctuate calcification
on LUQ. EGDS showed an ulceroinfiltrative mass with bleeding on cardia to antrum of stomach. And CT showed
diffuse gastric wall thickness with multiple calcifications. Biopsy of the stomach and esophagus during EGDS
examination revealed an adenocarcinoma, with signet ring cell type, infiltrating the wall of the stomach and the
distal esophagus. Then Bone scan was performed a few days later. It revealed intense uptake in LUQ,
corresponding to the calcium containing neoplasm seen on the abdomen x-ray, EGDS and abdomen CT. And
there was no evidence of any metastatic lesion and thyroid uptake on the bone scan. There are many reports
about accumulation of the tracer in extraosseous lesion, but only a few literatures were reported about gastric
calcification in stomach cancer. More over, no reports showed CT images. We are performed many diagnostic
examinations and found well correlation between them. The reason of gastric calcification is considered with
calcium deposition within extracellular space due to hemorrhage or necrosis. Other possibility offered to explain
gastric calcification have been increased blood flow and/or increased neovascularity with capillary leaks of tracer,
and specific enzymatic (phosphatases) receptor binding of tracer. So, it was happened ion exchange between
intracellular calcium and phosphate groups of tracer. (Korean J Nucl Med 38(5):344-346, 2004) |
