Metastatic Melanoma
71-year-old male with metastatic melanoma on left shoulder discovered 12/94.CT performed on 7/10/95 demonstrated tumor of the distal femur with negative findings in the abdomen. Bone scan on 7/13/95 showed an abnormal femur and four spine lesions.Whole-body FDG PET scan demonstrates numerous lesions throughout the body.Patient was scheduled for an amputation and total knee replacement based on CT and bone scan results. After PET found multiple lesions, surgery was cancelled, avoiding both the cost and the trauma of an operation that would not be effective.
