Intracranial syphilitic gumma is a rare neurological disease. We present 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of intracranial syphilitic gumma in a 46-year-old man with HIV. In this case, 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT outperforms 18F-FDG in helping to visualizing syphilitic gumma. Syphilitic gumma can also cause increase FAPI activity. Our findings suggest the potential value of 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 in the diagnosis of syphilis.
