Abstract:
We present a 45-year-old man with newly generalized tonic-clonic seizures due to a contrast-enhancing frontal lesion with perifocal edema suggestive for high-grade glioma (HGG). For further evaluation, a dynamic F-FET PET scan was performed, which showed high F-FET-uptake with early peak and constantly decreasing time-activity curves, a characteristic feature of HGG. Stereotactic biopsy and histological evaluation excluded a neoplastic lesion but confirmed a manifestation of neurosarcoidosis with strong expression of the L-amino-acid-transporter considered responsible for F-FET-uptake. Therefore, unknown manifestations of neurosarcoidosis represent a clinical pitfall in F-FET PET and can mimic HGG.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
