Abstract
A 58-year-old man with dysphagia and trismus symptoms presented a lobulated tumor in the right tonsil and ipsilateral laterocervical stony adenopathies in the physical examination. He had prostate carcinoma as clinical precedent. The tonsilar lesion showed focal FDG uptake (SUV max , 10.89) on PET/CT and increased glycemic metabolism in the left sacral wing (SUV max , 10.90) without clear morphological lesion in CT. There was also uptake of the tracer in sacrum in the bone scan. Metastatic involvement was suspected, requiring radioguided biopsy to determine the etiology. Due to radioguided biopsy, histological analysis of the metastasis was performed, with epidermoid carcinoma metastasis diagnosis.
