Abstract
Hematogenous gastric metastasis from pancreatic cancer is extremely rare. We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a case of isolated hematogenous gastric metastasis from pancreatic cancer with significantly elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level. The gastric metastasis showed intense focal FDG uptake mimicking a primary tumor. The elevation of serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level may be useful as an aid in the differential diagnosis.
