Abstract

NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is a newly defined and lethal cancer with aggressive course. It mostly affects children and young adults. Diagnosis is confirmed with the evidence of BRD4-NUT mutation on the chromosome 15q14 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Use of 18F-FDG PET/CT in NMC patients is very limited in the literature. In this report, we describe a 7-year-old boy with the diagnosis of NMC who was scanned with 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging and treatment response evaluation after the chemotherapy. It was disseminated and had moderate FDG avidity in the initial scan and showed progression after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. We also reviewed the literature related to 18F-FDG PET/CT in staging and assessment of chemotherapy response of NMC.

Resumen

El Carcinoma de línea media – NUT (NMC), es un cáncer letal recientemente definido con un curso agresivo. Afecta sobre todo a niños y jóvenes adultos. El diagnóstico se confirma con la evidencia de la mutación de BRD4-NUT en el cromosoma 15q14 mediante hibridación fluorescente in situ. El uso de 18F-FDG PET/TAC en pacientes con NMC está muy limitado en la bibliografía. En este informe describimos un niño de 7 años con un diagnóstico de NMC que ha sido explorado con 18F-FDG PET/TAC para la preparación y evaluación de la respuesta a la quimioterapia. El NMC estaba diseminado y mostraba una moderada captación de FDG en una exploración inicial y presentando una progresión después de 4 ciclos de quimioterapia. También analizamos la bibliografía relacionada con 18F-FDG PET/TAC en la estadificación y evaluación de la repuesta a la quimioterapia del NMC.
