Description

We report a patient with a history of choroidal melanoma, which was studied with F-FDG PET-CT for staging and then for followup after enucleation and placement of a MEDPOR prosthesis, in which we found FDG uptake within the prosthesis after 17 months due to inflammatory changes. F-FDG PET-CT could be an alternative imaging technique of MRI in the evaluation of these patients
