We report a case of a 56-year-old woman diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast, who had undergone left modified radical mastectomy followed by radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. FDG PET-CT showed metastatic brachial plexopathy with intra-spinal and extra-axial brain metastasis. Metastatic brachial plexopathy along with brain and spinal metastasis is a rare condition with very less incidence. The scan also showed left para-sternal anterior chest wall recurrence with antero-superior mediastinal metastasis. 18FDG-PET scanning is a useful tool in evaluation of patients with suspected metastatic plexopathy. It may also be useful in distinguishing between radiation-induced and metastatic plexopathy. Typical pattern of FDG uptake and dual time point imaging may increase specificity and require further evaluation.
