Ga-pentixafor PET/CT in a 66-year-old woman with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma showed extensive disease in bone and bone marrow. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient was in complete remission but complained of fever and coughing. Follow-up Ga-pentixafor PET/CT showed significantly reduced uptake in bone and bone marrow, consistent with her clinical outcome of myeloma. However, patches, nodules, and ground-grass opacities in bilateral lungs with moderate to intense uptake of Ga-pentixafor were noted. The histopathology of the biopsy for the pulmonary nodule confirmed pulmonary cryptococcosis.
