AI Article Synopsis
- * Initial scans showed no adrenal nodules, but a further examination revealed a nodule with pentixafor uptake in the pancreas, which raised concerns about possible pancreatic cancer.
- * A subsequent 18F-FDG PET/CT confirmed an active lesion in the same area, and a needle biopsy ultimately diagnosed it as a solid pseudopapillary tumor, which is rare and usually low in malignant potential.
Article Abstract
A 27-year-old woman underwent 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT for primary aldosteronism localization and characterization. No functional adrenal nodules were detected by 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT, whereas a hypodense nodule with focal pentixafor uptake was incidentally discovered in the head of pancreas. Retrospective analysis of contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a subtly enhancing nodule devoid of calcification in the pancreatic head. Pancreatic cancer cannot be excluded. 18F-FDG PET/CT was suggested, and the scan showed an FDG-avid lesion in the same region. Needle biopsy was performed, and the pathological result is solid pseudopapillary tumor, a rare pancreatic tumor of low malignant potential.
