We presented a case of 67-year-old man with epigastric discomfort and anorexia for more than 2 months. No abnormal 18F-FDG uptake was found throughout the gastrointestinal tract on 18F-FDG PET/CT. The patient was enrolled in the 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT clinical trial, and a 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT was performed to help detect primary lesion. This examination demonstrated a nodular thickening of the gastric wall with an increased 68Ga-FAPI uptake in the greater curvature of the stomach. Finally, the pathological result confirmed the diagnosis of gastric stromal tumor. This case highlights that 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT might outperform 18F-FDG PET/CT in helping identify gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
我们报告了一例 67 岁男性患者,其有 2 个多月的上腹部不适和食欲不振症状。18F-FDG PET/CT 全身扫描未见胃肠道异常 18F-FDG 摄取。患者入组 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT 临床试验,进行了 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT 检查以帮助检测原发性病灶。该检查显示胃大弯处胃壁结节状增厚,68Ga-FAPI 摄取增加。最终,病理结果证实了胃间质瘤的诊断。本病例提示 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT 可能优于 18F-FDG PET/CT,有助于识别胃肠道间质瘤。
