ABSTRACT A 50-year-old man presented with cough and hemoptysis for 1 month. Chest CT showed an irregular mass in the right lung, with enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum and right hilum. These findings were suggestive of lung cancer with lymph node metastases. The patient was subsequently enrolled in a 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT clinical trial. 68Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT revealed a mass in the upper lobe of right lung, with intense tracer uptake. Meanwhile, PET/CT showed enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum and right hilum, with mild FAPI uptake. However, pathological examination confirmed the mass was tuberculous granuloma.
