Incidental Detection of Elastofibroma Dorsi With 68Ga-FAPI-46 and 18F-FDG PET/CT in a Patient With Esophageal Cancer.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A 71-year-old man underwent 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for initial staging prior to surgery of a squamous cell carcinoma of the lower esophagus under the prospective study NCT04147494. Both scans showed increased uptake in the mid and distal esophagus without evidence of metastatic disease. A soft tissue right infrascapular mass with mild 18F-FDG and moderate 68Ga-FAPI-46 uptake was incidentally found. The patient underwent robotic-assisted Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and excision of the right infrascapular mass. Histopathology of the right chest wall mass confirmed the diagnosis of elastofibroma.
