Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Tumor thrombus is a rare complication of solid cancer. The authors report a case of a 76-year-old woman presenting a thick walled cystic mass in the lower lobe of the left lung. 18FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) was performed, showing tracer accumulation in the wall of the pulmonary lesion and in the mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Moreover, PET/CT depicted a gross mass in the left adrenal gland and a hypermetabolic focus corresponding to the anatomic location of the left renal vein. Contrast-enhanced CT, subsequently performed, confirmed PET findings in the lung, lymph nodes, and adrenal glands, also demonstrating marginal enhancement and intraluminal filling defect in the left renal vein, which was interpreted as tumor thrombus due to the 18FDG uptake at PET scan. CT-guided biopsy of the mass was positive for poorly differentiated carcinoma. 18FDG PET can be useful to diagnose tumor thrombus in oncological patients. © Copyright 2014, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
