Abstract
This report presents a case of a 51-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with incomplete closure of the left eyelid and a crooked right corner of the mouth. She was diagnosed with multifocal head-neck and liver paragangliomas that were confirmed by pathological tests and gallium-68-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. The findings of this case suggest that 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be a potential diagnostic tool for paragangliomas.
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.
