Abstract: Abstract: A 10-year-old girl with a right renal mass underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT and 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/MRI for presurgical assessment of tumor invasion and malignant potential. The mass showed low 18 F-FDG uptake and intense 68 Ga-FAPI-04 uptake. Nephrectomy was performed, and the histopathologic diagnosis was aggressive PEComa (perivascular epithelioid cell tumor). This case showed that 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET outperformed 18 F-FDG PET in detecting aggressive PEComa.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared.
