Abstract
- Abstract: A 55-year-old woman underwent 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for tumor detection and staging under the prospective study NCT04416165. Both scans showed a mass lesion with increased tracer uptake in the pancreas. Moreover, 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed a greater number of abnormal foci in the mesentery and omentum than that shown with 18F-FDG. These abnormal foci were suspected to be metastases from pancreatic cancer. The patient subsequently underwent a cytoreductive surgery, and postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma of pancreas. Follow-up 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT (3 months after surgery) showed an excellent response with decreasing 68Ga-FAPI activity in the whole abdomen.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declare.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
