Abstract
A 35-year-old woman received a surgery of sigmoid colon highly differentiated mucosal adenocarcinoma with greater omentum and peritoneum metastasis.The follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a new enhanced nodule on the transverse mesocolon about 6 months after surgery. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and 18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT were both performed to evaluate the potential lesions systematically, PET/CT images showed low 18F-FDG activity but very little 18F-FAPI activity in the nodule on the transverse mesocolon. Ultimately, the nodule was pathologically proved to be sutures granuloma. Maybe 18F-FAPI PET/CT is a potential choice to differentiate suture granulomas from metastasis.
期刊介绍：
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
