A 50-year-old woman presented with back pain for 1 month. Chest CT showed osteolytic destruction of T6 vertebral body. A malignancy was suspected. The patient was subsequently enrolled in the clinical trial of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT revealed multiple bone destruction with increased FAPI activity. It was also highly suggestive of malignancy or metastases. However, pathological examination after T6 vertebral surgery confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculous granulomatous inflammation.

Purpose: To evaluate the added value of additional Ga-FAPI PET/CT following CT for primary staging, detection of postoperative recurrence, and management of gastric cancer patients.
Methods: We retrospectively included patients with gastric cancers who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT), followed by Ga-FAPI PET/CT within 30 days. Ga-FAPI PET/CT was performed for initial staging or detection of postoperative recurrence.

A 38-year-old woman received a 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT scan for the evaluation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Diffuse uptake in both kidney parenchyma indicated the presence of lupus nephritis. In addition, an incidental carotid body tumor with increased FAPI uptake was also observed.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-04 (FAPI) in comparison to 68Ga-DOTATATE (SSTR) PET/CT for patients presenting with recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
Patients And Methods: Sixteen MTC patients with elevated calcitonin levels (>150 pg/mL) underwent FAPI and SSTR PET/CT. Two nuclear medicine physicians evaluated all images, categorizing lesions into locoregional metastases, mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs), liver, and bone metastases.

Breast metastasis from rectal carcinoma is very rare. We report a case of imaging findings of breast metastasis in a 31-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic radical tumor resection 8 months ago. 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT showed 4 small breast nodules with intense 68Ga-FAPI uptake (SUVmax, 9.
