In this case report, we present the clinical management of a 52-year-old female patient with a recurrent right temporo-parietal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The patient presented with symptoms of headache and loss of balance and recurrence on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To evaluate the fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPi) expression in the recurrent lesion, an exploratory ­[68Ga]Ga-DOTA.SA.FAPi PET/CT scan was performed. The imaging results revealed FAPi expression in the lesion located in the right temporo-parietal region. Based on the findings of FAPi expression, the patient underwent[177 Lu]Lu-DOTAGA.Glu.(FAPi)2 treatment. After completing two cycles of ­[177 Lu]Lu-DOTAGA.Glu.(FAPi)2 therapy, afollow-u [68Ga]Ga-DOTA.SA.FAPi PET/CT scan was conducted. The post-treatment imaging showed a significant reduction in FAPi uptake and regression in the size of the lesion, as well as a decrease in perilesional edema, as observed on the MRI. Furthermore, the patient experienced an improvement in symptoms and performance status. These results suggesttha [68Ga]Ga-DOTA.SA.FAPi monomer imaging and ­[177 Lu]Lu-DOTAGA.Glu.(FAPi)2 dimer therapeutics hold promisefor patients with recurrent GBM when other standard-line therapeutic options have been exhausted. This case highlights the potential of using FAPi-based theranostics in the management of recurrent GBM, providing a potential avenue for personalized treatment in patients who have limited treatment options available.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is characterized by combined occurrence of tumors of endocrine glands including the parathyroid, the pancreatic islet cells, and the anterior pituitary gland. Parathyroid involvement is the most common manifestation and usually the first clinical involvement inMEN1 syndrome, followed by gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Here we present a case where the patient initially presented with metastatic gastric NET and a single parathyroid adenoma was detected incidentally on ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT done as part of post ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE therapy (PRRT) follow-up. Further ¹⁸F-fluorocholine PET/CT showed four adenomas for which the patient subsequently underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy.
