Synchronous Upper Squamous and Lower Adenocarcinoma of the Oesophagus: A Rarely Reported Case Treated with Palliative Chemotherapy and Stenting

Figure 2

Axial contrast enhanced CT at the level of the mid-oesophagus (a) demonstrates a circumferential soft tissue oesophageal mass with increased metabolic activity (SUVmax 15.0) on the PET component of the study (c). Axial contrast enhanced CT at the level of the gastroesophageal junction (b) demonstrates soft tissue thickening surrounding the gastric stent in situ. The PET component of the study (c) at this level shows increased FDG avidity (SUVmax 14.2) consistent with a second tumour. Incidental note of a FDG avid left thyroid nodule.
