Significantly Higher 68 Ga-FAPI Than 18 F-FDG Uptake by Hidradenocarcinoma of Head and Neck on PET/CT

Abstract

Hidradenocarcinoma is quite rare in clinical practice. Herein, we describe the 68 Ga-FAPI and 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings of hidradenocarcinoma of the head and neck in a 75-year-old man. In the present case, the primary tumor and secondary lesions showed intense accumulation of 68 Ga-FAPI but only slight 18 F-FDG uptake. This case demonstrates that 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT might be used as a helpful tool for evaluating hidradenocarcinoma.
