Figure 2 A 56-year-old woman with metachronous gastric cancer after esophageal cancer resection 5 years ago. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) displayed multi-retroperitoneal lymph node recurrence (arrow in A), which was later verified as esophageal cancer metastasis (squamous cell carcinoma). PET revealed a small lesion at gastric tube, but endoscopy was negative (arrows in A, B, C, D). Third PET/CT showed an enlarged gastric lesion, and endoscopic biopsy verified gastric tube cancer (adenocarcinoma) (arrows in E, F).
