Abstract

Abstract: Klatskin tumor, also known as hilar cholangiocarcinoma, was clearly demonstrated in this case report by contrasting 68 Ga-FAPI and 18 F-FDG PET/CT in the same patient. This instance exemplifies a false-negative 18 F-FDG PET/CT for the main tumor site, despite positive 68 Ga-FAPI uptake at the same location.
