Abstract
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae invasion syndrome is a rare disease associated with primary liver abscess and secondary extrahepatic infection. We report a case of K. pneumoniae invasion syndrome with elevated 68Ga-FAPI uptake, mimicking malignancy with multiple metastases. Our case illustrated that K. pneumoniae invasion syndrome should be considered as a possible etiology when diagnosing multiple 68Ga-FAPI–avid liver foci with metastatic lesions. Besides, PET/CT could be an integrated tool to search for systemic occult lesions in K. pneumoniae invasion syndrome.
