| Core Tip |
In China, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is characterized by low definitive diagnosis rates and high misdiagnosis frequencies due to nonspecific clinical manifestations, epidemiological rarity and under-recognition in systemic diagnosis. We present a paradigmatic case of MPM in a young female patient without documented asbestos exposure, detected by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT), but failed to demonstrate disseminated pleural micrometastases. This case challenges the conventional risk stratification paradigm (elderly/asbestos-exposed populations), reveals the technical limitations of F-18 FDG PET/CT in detecting localized lesions, and provides evidence-based impetus for enhancing diagnostic vigilance among clinicians and nuclear medicine specialists. |
