Case in brief
An incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) was identified and evaluated using three separate PET radiopharmaceuticals. The report presents the case as an illustration of how PET tracers targeting different aspects of tumor biology can contribute to imaging characterization. The abstract does not specify the patient’s presentation, the individual imaging findings, diagnostic confirmation, or subsequent management and outcome.
What made this case unusual
The GIST was characterized with three separate PET radiopharmaceuticals, making this a multitarget molecular imaging case.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
PET radiopharmaceuticals can target different aspects of tumor biology and may provide complementary information when characterizing an incidental tumor.
