Targeting Imaging Modality in the Diagnosis of Endometriosis: 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in reproductive-age women, and diagnosis can be delayed for 4-11 years due to nonspecific symptoms and limited imaging. This underscores the need for new methods …

A Diagnostic Dilemma in a Breast Cancer Patient on Tamoxifen: Perihepatic Endometriosis Masquerading as Metastatic Disease.

Breast cancer metastasis to the liver carries a poor prognosis, and the identification of hypermetabolic hepatic or perihepatic lesions on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in a patient …

FDG PET/CT in a Case of Clear Cell Carcinoma Arising From Abdominal Wall Endometriosis.

Abdominal wall endometriosis is rare. Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is extremely rare. We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a case of clear cell carcinoma arising from abdominal wall …

Initial Results of FAPI PET/MRI to Assess the Extent of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder often associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Conventional imaging modalities, such as transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, may underestimate the …

68Ga-FAPI PET/CT safely detects multifocal endometriosis: a case report.

Endometriosis can be tough to diagnose accurately, especially when standard imaging misses hidden lesions. We explored whether 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT, a new molecular imaging technique, could spot multifocal endometriosis that conventional …

Application of 18F-FAPI PET/CT in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis.

This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool …

Prostate-specific membrane antigen immunostaining in endometriosis: preliminary findings and a case of in vivo imaging with gallium-68 positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Cholesterol granuloma forming the solid components within an endometrioma showing intense FDG uptake, mimicking malignancy: A case report.

A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …

Collision tumor of endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma: a rare case and literature review.

Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometrial HAC …

Intense 68Ga-FAPI-04 Uptake in a Rare Case of Multifocal Abdominal Wall Endometriosis.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET is an emerging molecular imaging modality that is widely used in oncology and increasingly investigated in nononcologic diseases. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a …
