Key result
68Ga-FAPI PET/CT demonstrated intensively increased uptake in a case of renal leiomyoma compared to only inhomogeneously slightly increased 18F-FDG uptake.
Why the study?
Does 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT show better uptake than 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting renal leiomyoma?
Case Report (n=1)
Does 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT show better uptake than 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting renal leiomyoma?
68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be an effective tool for detecting renal leiomyoma, showing more intense uptake than 18F-FDG.
May support 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for renal leiomyoma detection; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Renal leiomyoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor of the kidney, which mainly originates from the renal capsule or pelvis. We described 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings in a case of renal leiomyoma. The PET/CT findings showed that the left renal leiomyoma demonstrated intensively increased 68 Ga-FAPI uptake, whereas only inhomogeneously slightly increased 18 F-FDG uptake. This case illustrates that 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be an effective tool for detecting renal leiomyoma.

Liu et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Renal leiomyoma (n=1). 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT vs. 18F-FDG PET/CT was evaluated on PET/CT uptake findings. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT demonstrated intensively increased uptake in a case of renal leiomyoma compared to only inhomogeneously slightly increased 18F-FDG uptake.
