Increased F-18-FAPI PET/CT Uptake in a Case of Brucellosis of Lumbar Vertebral Body

摘要

Vertebral brucellosis is a relatively rare disease that usually emerges in animal husbandry areas. We report a case that brucellosis of lumbar vertebral body showed an intense uptake of FAPI on F-18-FAPI PET/CT, which mimics to malignant lesions or vertebral tuberculosis. It is an interesting finding to realize that vertebral brucellosis is also one of the reasons for intense uptake of FAPI.
