Abstract

A 67-year-old woman was enrolled in our 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT tumor clinical trial due to her lung adenocarcinoma. The PET/CT scan additionally revealed increased uptake of FAPI in the tongue. Combined with the patient's medical history and the contrast-enhanced CT of the maxillofacial region, it was suspected to be a hemangioma. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgery and was diagnosed with capillary hemangioma of the left side of her tongue.
