68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT Imaging in a Case of SAPHO Syndrome.

A 66-year-old woman presented with anterior chest wall and knee joints pain and multiple skin lesions. 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy showed increased bone density in the sternal angle with abnormal bone metabolism. The patient was enrolled in a 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT tumor clinical trial, and it showed increased tracer uptake in the sternum and right knee joint. Subsequently, ultrasound of the right knee joint confirmed the existence of synovitis, and no malignant components were found in sternal biopsy. The patient's final diagnosis was synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome. The case confirmed that 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 imaging is helpful for evaluating the involved sites of SAPHO syndrome.
