| Core Tip |
This case highlights an octogenarian with occult gastric cancer manifesting as extensive osteoblastic metastases initially misdiagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis. While fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) failed to detect the primary lesion, gallium-68 fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor PET/CT identified a subtle gastric antral tumor. This underscores the diagnostic utility of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor-targeted PET/CT imaging for gastrointestinal malignancies with low fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose avidity and emphasizes the multidisciplinary integration of tumor markers, advanced imaging, and endoscopic surveillance in high-risk patients to detect clinically silent, aggressive cancers and mitigate diagnostic delays. |
