Port-A Catheter Fracture: A Potential Lethal Iatrogenic Complication Identified on PET-CT

We present a case of esophageal cancer underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) on purpose of tumor surveillance. The patient is clinically asymptomatic. The FDG PET is negative for tumor recurrence. However, careful inspection of the CT and scout image revealed rupture of Port-A catheter with remote migration-a potential lethal iatrogenic complication. Such probability must be kept in mind shall it be recognized and handled in time.
