Abstract:
68 Ga-pentixafor uptake in hemangioma is rare. We report 68 Ga-pentixafor PET/MRI findings of a hepatic hemangioma in a 54-year-old woman. The images revealed a hyperintense lesion in the right posterior liver on T2-weighted images, with mild pentixafor uptake. The lesion was consistent with typical presentations of a hemangioma on MRI and contrast-enhanced CT.
