Why the study?
Does 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT show intense activity in aldosterone-producing adrenal adenomas?
Does 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT show intense activity in aldosterone-producing adrenal adenomas?
68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT demonstrates intense activity in aldosterone-producing adrenal adenomas, suggesting potential utility in evaluating Conn syndrome.
Hypothesis-generating for 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT in Conn syndrome; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
Ga-pentixafor, a ligand of CXCR4 (CXC chemokine receptor type 4), has been reported as a potential PET tracer to evaluate a variety of pathological entities. We report intense Ga-pentixafor activity on PET/CT in 2 patients in the histopathologically confirmed adrenal adenomas, which were the cause of their Conn syndrome.
