  • Title: Orbital IgG4-Related Disease Detected by 11C-Methionine PET/CT.
    Author: Yamane T, Seto A, Suzuki T, Yokota K, Li CP, Mimura T, Kuji I.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2015 Oct; 40(10):826-7. PubMed ID: 26053716.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old man presented with a complaint of left exophthalmos. Whole-body F-FDG PET/CT showed increased uptake in the soft tissue masses in the orbits, peripancreas, and left renal hilum. C-methionine (MET) PET/CT of the head and neck showed increased uptake in the orbits, and the SUVmax of the left orbital lesion was 7.0. The patient was finally diagnosed as IgG4-related disease by the results of increased serum IgG4 and the biopsy of the orbital lesion. Although C-MET is generally considered as a tumor-specific tracer, fibrous tissues of IgG4-related disease may be visualized by C-MET PET/CT.
