18F-Florbetaben: A New Tool for Amyloidosis Staging?

Abstract

We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a documented (renal biopsy) light-chain amyloidosis (AL) imaged with F-AV-1 (F-florbetaben) compared with a volunteer. A cardiac amyloidosis was suspected. As it was an AL and not a transthyretin amyloidosis, F-FDG and F-florbetaben PET/CT were preferred to bone scan. F-FDG scintigraphy showed a focal cardiac hypermetabolism. In addition of the heart, F-florbetaben scintigraphy showed an intense spleen and thyroid pathologic uptake and a moderate salivary gland and kidney uptake. F-florbetaben PET/CT appears to be useful for staging systemic amyloidosis.
