Our case highlights the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings in a rare case of biopsy-proven epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a 66-year-old woman with multi-organ involvement (lung, liver, and bone) who was subsequently treated with palliative radiation therapy and oral pazopanib. Furthermore, follow-up 18F-FDG PET/CT findings are detailed. EHE is a rare malignant vascular neoplasm (<1% of all vascular tumors) with an epithelioid and histiocytoid appearance arising from the vascular endothelial and preendothelial cells.

Background: Although cognitive decline is a trait related to aging, some individuals are resilient to the aging process, defined as SuperAgers. Studying the neural underpinnings of SuperAgers may improve the understanding of AD pathology. In this study, our aim was to analyze amyloid and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers in SuperAgers.

However, the precise pathogenic mechanism of TMT remains incompletely elucidated, and there persists a dearth of sensitive detection methodologies for early diagnosis of TMT. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 10 mg/kg TMT to simulate acute exposure in humans.

Objectives: To investigate whether 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([F]F-FDG PET/CT) metabolic parameters were associated with histology and to assess their prognostic role in patients with thymic lesions.
Patients And Methods: In total, 116 patients (49/67 M/F; mean age 59.5 years) who underwent preoperative [F]F-FDG PET/CT and thymectomy from 2012 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

We present a case of a 66-year-old man, where 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed intense FDG uptake in the tongue, lips, cheeks, and chewing musculature and distinct activation of the somatosensory and motor cortex corresponding to the mouth and tongue. The patient suffered from buccolingual masticatory syndrome, characterized by tardive dyskinesia, meaning uncontrollable, repetitive movements of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and masticatory musculature. In this case, the buccolingual masticatory syndrome was caused by metoclopramide antiemetic treatment.

This was a case of a 52-year-old woman with a history of multiorgan, metastatic breast cancer, who underwent several lines of treatment. She had brain metastases, which were treated with gamma knife. She progressed at other organ sites with additional recurrence of brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease, which demonstrated an interesting pattern of intracranial FDG uptake with further seizure-related muscular uptake.
