FDG PET/CT Findings in Biliary Papillomatosis

Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Oct;45(10):798-799. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003243.

Abstract

Biliary papillomatosis is a rare disease with high malignant potential. A 64-year-old woman underwent FDG PET/CT, which showed an intense FDG uptake in the location of an aggregated biliary papillomatosis with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia/carcinoma in situ but did not show FDG uptake in the sporadic, small biliary papilloma. FDG PET/CT may be an effective method to identify the components of the malignant transformation of biliary papillomatosis.
