68Ga-FAPI PET/CT Detected Non-FDG-Avid Gastric Stromal Tumor.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT 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.
