<sup>68</sup>Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT May Fail to Detect Recurrent Multiple Myeloma with Extramedullary Disease

Two patients with a history of multiple myeloma experienced a recurrence of the disease.<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT revealed prominent extramedullary disease as well as multi-foci in the bone marrow, both with increased FDG uptake. However, on <sup>68</sup>Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT,...

description Two patients with a history of multiple myeloma experienced a recurrence of the disease.<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT revealed prominent extramedullary disease as well as multi-foci in the bone marrow, both with increased FDG uptake. However, on <sup>68</sup>Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT, all the myeloma lesions showed significantly lower tracer uptake in comparison with <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET. This false-negative result of recurrent multiple myeloma with extramedullary disease may be a potential limitation of <sup>68</sup>Ga-Pentixafor in assessing multiple myeloma.
