; PET/CT; synchronous neoplasms; stagingObjective: To determine the additional clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting synchronous neoplasms in initial stage of esophageal cancer. Methods: 171 patients with biopsy-proven malignancy of the esophagus underwent 18F-FDG PET for initial stage. Synchronous malignancies were defined by abnormal 18FDG uptake on
18FDG-PET which was unlikely due to distant metastases from the primary esophageal lesion depending on intensity and pattern,and confirmed by pathology. Results: Thirty-five synchronous primary neoplasms were identified in 171patients and 33 neoplasms were PET/CT-positive. Among them. 14 neoplasms were discovered in the laryngeal pharynx, 8 in the lung, 6 in the stomach, 2 in the tongue, 1 in the sigmoid colon, 1 in the oral pharynx and 1 in both stomach and sigmoid colon. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT were 94.3%, 94.2% and 94.2% ,respectively. Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET can detect unexpected synchronous primary neoplasms in patients with esophageal cancer. Sites of pathologic 18F-FDG uptake should be confirmed by additional investigations before treatment, because synchronous neoplasms may cause metastases and influence the therapeutic plan.
