Abstract

The SuperScan of bone scintigraphy is well-known phenomenon which is included intense activity in the bones and diminished soft tissue and renal parenchymal activity. Here we demonstrate a patient with postoperative right breast cancer of Fluorine-18 (F-18) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) SuperScan showing extensive hypermetabolic lesions throughout the skeletons but only faint visualizations of the liver, renal cortex, and soft tissue, similar to the superscan of bone scintigraphy. Keywords: FDG PET/CT, PET SuperScan, Extensive Metastasis, Breast cancer
