Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary gland cancer. Still, its growth and invasion progress is slow, and its hematogenous metastasis is ACC's most common distant metastasis. Because of the broad expression and low background uptake of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) in tumor stroma, FAPI is considered another potential tracer of ACC in addition to FDG. In this case, we report a patient who was diagnosed with metastatic ACC liver cancer by fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and underwent PET/CT examination of [18F]FDG and [18F]FAPI-42 to find the primary cancer lesion. Finally, the primary cancer lesion was found in the left submandibular gland and was pathologically confirmed as ACC after resection.
期刊介绍：
The scope of AJNMMI encompasses all areas of molecular imaging, including but not limited to: positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), molecular magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical bioluminescence, optical fluorescence, targeted ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, etc. AJNMMI welcomes original and review articles on both clinical investigation and preclinical research. Occasionally, special topic issues, short communications, editorials, and invited perspectives will also be published. Manuscripts, including figures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another journal.
