[18F]FDG and [18F]FES PET/CT images of a 51-year-old female with histologically confirmed ER-positive recurrence (Allred score 5) in the chest wall. Transaxial [18F]FDG images show positive uptake in the left chest wall recurrence (a, b; arrows). Additional positive [18F]FDG uptake is seen in the left lung (c, d; dotted arrows). By contrast, [18F]FES PET/CT is negative in the chest wall (e, f; arrows) and positive only in the left lung (g, h; dotted arrows). The left lung lesion was later confirmed as ER-positive metastatic breast cancer
