AI Article Synopsis
- - A 23-year-old man has been diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare disorder that affects the body's immune system.
- - Imaging through 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT revealed multiple lesions in his bones, indicating significant bone damage caused by LCH, along with some concerning areas near the heart and lungs.
- - The findings suggest that 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT could be a useful tool for assessing the extent and severity of LCH in patients.
Article Abstract
A 23-year-old man was recently diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed multiple lesions with intense FAPI uptake in the axial and appendicular skeleton with lytic or mixed bone destruction, consistent with osseous lesions of LCH. FAPI-avid foci around the right atrium and inferior vena cava, as well as micronodules and thin-walled cysts in the lungs, were also noted, possibly also involvement of LCH. This case suggested that 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT may have the potential to be applied in evaluation of LCH.
