Abstract

We report the positron emission tomography/computed tomography appearance of solitary sternal metastasis from primary ovarian carcinoma in a 65-year-old woman who underwent surgery followed by chemoradiation treatment 3 years earlier. Restaging positron emission tomography/computed tomography study demonstrates an intensely active destructive lesion involving the entire sternum (maximum standard uptake value: 4.7) with a photopenic soft tissue mass component in the center of the sternum protruding anteriorly suggestive of necrosis. This sternal lesion was subsequently biopsied and pathology revealed metastatic disease from the primary ovarian tumor for which the patient had received chemoradiation therapy. Bone involvement in ovarian cancer is relatively rare and even rarer in the sternum.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 January 2012.
All research outputs
#16,046,765
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Nuclear Medicine
#1,204
of 5,006 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#88,752
of 130,321 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Nuclear Medicine
#10
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,006 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 130,321 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
