68Ga-FAPI-04 Versus 18F-FDG PET/CT in Detection of Epithelioid Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

We describe 68Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor)-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in a case with epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma. Compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT more clearly showed the pleural tumors and lymph node metastases and detected more pleural lesions because the tumors showed higher 68Ga-FAPI-04 activity. This case indicates that 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT may be a promising new tool in evaluation of malignant pleural mesothelioma, which needs further investigation.
