Incidental Detection of a Type B3 Thymoma on 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT Imaging

18 F-FDG PET/CT Versus 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT in a Case of Isolated Nodal-Type Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma

ABSTRACT

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare low-grade sarcoma originating from mesenchymal dendritic cells. We presented 18 F-FDG and 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings in a 32-year-old woman with pathologically confirmed nodal-type follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. In this case, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma demonstrated lower uptake with FAPI than FDG.

FDG PET/CT Image of Extramedullary Plasmacytoma in the Anterior Mediastinum

ABSTRACT

Extramedullary plasmacytoma in the anterior mediastinum is very rare. We report FDG PET/CT findings of anterior mediastinum extramedullary plasmacytoma in a 54-year-old woman. On FDG PET/CT, it presented as a solitary anterior mediastinum mass with increased FDG uptake. The final pathology supported a diagnosis of extramedullary plasmacytoma. This case hints us that extramedullary plasmacytoma should be regarded as a differential diagnosis when we encounter a solitary anterior mediastinum mass with intense FDG uptake.
