Ga-FAPI PET/CT for diagnosing multifocal head-neck and liver paragangliomas.

Key Points

68Ga-FAPI PET/CT effectively diagnosed multifocal paragangliomas, with pathological tests confirming the results.
Imaging findings revealed significant tumor characteristics, highlighting the utility of 68Ga-FAPI as a diagnostic tool.
The patient, a 51-year-old woman, presented with clinical symptoms indicative of multifocal tumors in the head and neck regions.
This case suggests that 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be a promising imaging option to enhance the diagnosis of paragangliomas.

Abstract

This report presents a case of a 51-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with incomplete closure of the left eyelid and a crooked right corner of the mouth. She was diagnosed with multifocal head-neck and liver paragangliomas that were confirmed by pathological tests and gallium-68-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. The findings of this case suggest that 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be a potential diagnostic tool for paragangliomas.
