ABSTRACT Tau deposits in Alzheimer's disease and corticobasal syndrome have been reported using 18F-THK-5351 positron emission tomography (PET). To our knowledge, our study is the first to demonstrate tau deposits in patients with frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD), using 18F-THK-5351 PET. This case report presents two patients, both of whom showed positive Tau deposition using 18F-THK-5351 PET. One patient was diagnosed with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and the other diagnosed with logopenic variant PPA. Our results suggest an association in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, corticobasal syndrome, and FTLD, and could plan more effective clinical care in advance.
