Case in brief

A patient with anti-Jo-1 positive antisynthetase syndrome presented with muscular, articular, cutaneous, and pulmonary involvement. The condition was assessed using 18 F-FDG PET/CT, which revealed significant abnormalities. Remarkably, after four years of follow-up, the patient achieved a complete metabolic response with resolution of all abnormalities, and no malignancy was detected.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

The use of 18 F-FDG PET/CT can be valuable in both the initial assessment and ongoing monitoring of antisynthetase syndrome, aiding in the detection of disease activity and exclusion of malignancy.
