The presence of malignant thrombus has clinical significance for determining the staging, treatment decisions and prognosis. 18F-FDG PET/CECT is a noninvasive modality for discriminating between malignant and benign thrombi. We present a 61-year old male diagnosed with primary sigmoid colon carcinoma and 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed, in addition to FDG avid primary lesion, a FDG avid filling defect in portal vein, likely malignant thrombus.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/early/2020/11/20/jnmt.120.249532}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/early/2020/11/20/jnmt.120.249532.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
