PET guided biopsy of isolated bone metastasis in GE junction adenocarcinoma

The advantages of PET/CT include identification of abnormalities which can be targeted for percutaneous biopsy to determine metastatic disease. However, it is difficult for both the clinician and patient when positive PET findings do not have a correlate identified on CT. We present the first published case of successful biopsy of an isolated PET avid bone lesion without a CT correlate in a patient with newly diagnosed esophageal adenocarcinoma using a PET guided biopsy technique.
