Abstract

Solitary parasplenic metastatic carcinoma may be misinterpreted as accessory spleen on CT images. In addition, elevated FDG uptake in the spleen may also mimic metastasis in patient with a history of carcinoma. Here we present a case of parasplenic metastasis coexisted with splenic infarction reveled on 18F-FDG PET/CT in a 51-year-old man with history of hepatocellular carcinoma.
