Abstract
We present 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings of an internal thoracic vein tumor thrombus from melanoma in a 76-year-old woman. Restaging 18 F-FDG PET/CT shows a progressive disease with an internal thoracic vein tumor thrombus from a sternal bone metastasis. Although cutaneous malignant melanoma may metastasize to any body part, a direct tumor invasion of veins and the formation of a tumor thrombus represent an extremely rare complication.
