Abstract/Text
BACKGROUND: 18F-FDG PET/CT could satisfactorily show pancreatic and extra-pancreatic lesions in AIP, which can be mistaken for pancreatic cancer (PC). This study aimed to identify 18F-FDG PET/CT findings that might differentiate AIP from PC.
METHODS: FDG-PET/CT findings of 26 AIP and 40 PC patients were reviewed. Pancreatic and extra-pancreatic lesions related findings, including maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and patterns of FDG uptake, were identified and compared.
RESULTS: All 26 patients with AIP had increased pancreatic FDG uptake. Focal abnormal pancreatic FDG activities were found in 38/40 (95.00%) PC patients, while longitudinal were found in 18/26 (69.23%) AIP patients. SUVmax was significantly different between AIP and PC, both in early and delayed PET/CT scans (p < 0.05). AUCs were 0.700 (early SUVmax), 0.687 (delayed SUVmax), 0.683 (early lesions/liver SUVmax), and 0.715 (delayed lesion/liver SUVmax). Bile duct related abnormalities were found in 12/26 (46.15%) AIP and 10/40 (25.00%) PC patients, respectively. Incidentally, salivary and prostate gland SUVmax in AIP patients were higher compared with those of PC patients (p < 0.05). In males,an inverted "V" shaped high FDG uptake in the prostate was more frequent in AIP than PC patients (56.00%, 14/25 vs. 5.71%, 2/35). Increased FDG activity in extra-pancreatic bile duct was present in 4/26 of AIP patients, while was observed in none of the PC patients. Only in AIP patients, both diffuse pancreatic FDG accumulation and increased inverted "V" shaped FDG uptake in the prostate could be found simultaneously.
CONCLUSIONS: 18F-FDG PET/CT findings might help differentiate AIP from PC.
