We present a case of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with mixed mucinous-invasive ductal carcinoma, a rare subtype of breast cancer. Utilizing 99mTc-FAPI-46 scintigraphy, we observed a high target-to-background ratio in the breast mass and metastatic axillary lymph nodes. Notably, a benign follicular nodule was also detected in the thyroid which showed absent 99mTc-FAPI uptake. Our findings suggest that 99mTc-FAPI-46 shares similar characteristics with 68Ga-FAPI and may outperform 18F-FDG PET/CT in mucinous breast cancer. This case highlights the potential of FAPI as a predictive biomarker for malignancy and its role in benign findings.

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Treatments for this disease often result in side effects such as pain, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and reduced quality of life. Physical exercise has been shown to effectively mitigate these side effects and improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer.
