In August 2020, patient presented pain in her left foot. 99mTc-DPD bone scintigraphy showed multiple uptakes regarding osteolytic lesion of the left lower limb with no other pathological uptake. Echo-guided tibial biopsies confirmed breast origin adenocarcinoma, in favor of relapse of the originally treated cancer. To determine whether the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson disease (PD) specifically relates to dopaminergic depletion in sensorimotor-related subregions of the striatum. Our primary study sample consisted of 185 locally recruited PD patients, of which 73 (40%) developed LID. Retrospective 123I-FP-CIT SPECT data were used to quantify the specific dopamine transporter (DAT) binding ratio within distinct functionally defined striatal subregions related to limbic, executive, and sensorimotor systems. Regional DAT levels were contrasted between patients who developed LID (PD + LID) and those who did not (PD-LID) using analysis of covariance models controlled for demographic and clinical features. For validation of the findings and assessment of the evolution of LID-associated DAT changes from an early disease stage, we also studied serial 123I-FP-CIT SPECT data from 343 de novo PD patients enrolled in the Parkinson Progression Marker's Initiative using mixed linear model analysis. and could improve individual prognosis of this common clinical complication in PD. A 30-year-old woman with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma experienced joint pain and swelling in bilateral knees, wrists, and hand joints during the course of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. She underwent 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for response assessment of the tumor and evaluating her arthritis. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT detected intense uptake in multiple joints, consistent with her polyarthritis. However, these joints showed only mild FDG uptake. The tumor was in complete response, and her polyarthritis was considered as inflammatory arthritis induced by anti-PD1.

PET using 68Ga-labeled somatostatin receptor (SSTR) ligands adds significant information in meningioma patients. 18F-SiTATE is a novel, 18F-labeled SSTR-targeting peptide with remarkable imaging properties. Here, we present a 72-year-old woman with falx meningioma and transosseous extension. 18F-SiTATE PET/CT was performed 12 months after the previous 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT with comparable quantitative uptake and very good spatial resolution. So far, the widespread use of SSTR ligands for NET and meningioma imaging is hampered by cost-intensive 68Ge/68Ga generators, low activity amounts, lower spatial resolution, and short half-life. 18F-SiTATE might foster widespread use of SSTR ligands, overcoming the shortcomings of 68Ga-labeled ligands.

Infective endocarditis is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. The valve leaflets and annulus are the most commonly affected sites, but involvement of the papillary muscles is extremely rare. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman who had infective endocarditis only involving the papillary muscle on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis is a rare dural inflammatory disorder. We describe MRI and FDG PET/CT findings in 3 cases of hypertrophic pachymeningitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. Enhanced brain MRI of the 3 cases showed linear enhancement of the thickened dura matter involving the skull base, tentorium, and/or convexity. On FDG PET/CT, the thickened dura matter showed diffusely increased FDG uptake with SUVmax ranging from 5.8 to 11.3. Familiarity with these MRI and FDG PET/CT findings is helpful for correct diagnosis and treatment.

We report the case of a patient who was referred to our institution for a large pericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis. CT imaging revealed an inhomogeneous pericardial mass beside the right atrium, and then a PET/CT scan was performed. Standard images were inconclusive whether delayed images showed an FDG-avid pericardial lesion that was surgically removed with histological diagnosis of a poorly differentiated biphasic synovial sarcoma. When considering mediastinal or pericardial mass, a delayed PET/CT may improve lesion-to-background contrast by reducing blood pool activity. Pericardial synovial sarcoma is a rare malignancy.
