A 68-year-old man with sarcoidosis showed high F-FDG uptake in the mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes on F-FDG PET, suggesting active inflammation. F-fluoro-boronophenylalanine (FBPA) PET showed no significant uptake in the mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, suggesting its cancer specificity as a substrate of L-type amino acid transporter 1. F-fluoro-boronophenylalanine PET can be used for precise evaluation in oncology when the differentiation between inflammation and metastasis is inconclusive on F-FDG PET.
一位 68 岁的结节病患者在 F-FDG PET 上显示纵隔和肺门淋巴结摄取 F-FDG 增加,提示存在活动性炎症。F-氟代苯丙氨酸(FBPA)PET 显示纵隔和肺门淋巴结摄取无明显增加,提示其作为 L 型氨基酸转运体 1 的底物具有肿瘤特异性。当 F-FDG PET 对炎症和转移的区分不明确时,F-氟代苯丙氨酸 PET 可用于肿瘤的精确评估。
