Abstract

We present a case of a 78-year-old female with effort angina. A myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) showed increased tracer uptake in two synchronic tumor lesions, a thymoma and a breast cancer. This case highlights the contribution of SPECT-CT in the characterization of these findings and its essential role in rapid decision-making. The patient underwent surgery of both lesions that had gone undetected prior to the conduction of the MPS.

Keywords:
SPECT-CT
Thymoma
Breast cancer
Myocardial perfusion SPECT
Resumen

Presentamos una paciente de 78 años, derivada para estudio de angor de esfuerzo, que en el SPECT de perfusión miocárdica presentó captación aumentada del trazador en dos lesiones tumorales sincrónicas: un timoma y un cáncer de mama. Este caso clínico pone de manifiesto la aportación del SPECT-CT en la caracterización de estos hallazgos y su papel esencial para una rápida toma de decisiones. La paciente fue intervenida quirúrgicamente de las dos lesiones, insospechadas previamente a la realización del SPECT miocárdico.
