Abstract

Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastoma is an uncommon borderline tumor. We present 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastoma in a 58-year-old man. The rare hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastoma demonstrated intense tracer uptake on 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT. This case demonstrates the potential value of 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT for the evaluation of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastoma.
