Abstract
ABSTRACT: A 59-year-old woman with newly diagnosed pulmonary nodules underwent both 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT. Both studies showed similarly increased uptake in pneumonia. However, only 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed increased uptake in splenic hemangioma, whereas FDG uptake in the splenic lesion is low. Our case illustrates that splenic hemangioma can also reveal increased FAPI activity.
