Hypermetabolic Cerebral Metastases of Cardiac Myxoma on FDG PET/CT.

A 66-year-old woman with a history of surgical resection of left atrial myxoma 6 months ago presented with multiple brain lesions with MRI. An FDG PET/CT was performed for further evaluation. The images showed that cerebral tumors had variable and increased FDG uptake in general, and no other abnormal FDG-avid lesions were noted. The tumor of right occipital lobe was resected and confirmed as metastatic cardiac myxoma on histology.
