Abstract

Meningioma is typically a benign tumor that may incidentally be found on imaging. This case demonstrates the utility of 18 F-flutemetamol (FMM) PET/CT in an 80-year-old woman evaluated for memory decline. Although the scan was performed for dementia assessment, it revealed an incidental mass in the frontal region. Early-phase PET showed relatively low uptake, while delayed-phase imaging displayed intense uptake of 18 F-FMM. Magnetic resonance imaging and surgical pathology confirmed the lesion as a meningioma. This report may aid in interpreting incidental mass lesions on 18 F-FMM PET, providing a reference for physicians who may encounter similar findings.

18f -氟替他莫PET偶检脑膜瘤。

脑膜瘤是一种典型的良性肿瘤，可能偶然在影像学上被发现。本病例展示了18f -氟替他莫（FMM） PET/CT在一位80岁女性记忆衰退评估中的应用。虽然扫描是为了评估痴呆症，但它显示了额叶区偶然出现的肿块。早期PET显示相对较低的摄取，而延迟期成像显示强烈的18F-FMM摄取。磁共振成像和手术病理证实病变为脑膜瘤。本报告可能有助于解释18F-FMM PET上偶发的肿块病变，为可能遇到类似发现的医生提供参考。
