AI Article Synopsis
- * Both scans indicated increased activity in the esophagus but showed no signs of metastatic disease, and an incidental soft tissue mass was found in the right infrascapular area.
- * The patient underwent a robotic-assisted esophagectomy and removal of the infrascapular mass, which was later diagnosed as elastofibroma through histopathology.
Article 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.
