Article Abstract
We present PET/CT findings of a 62-year-old woman with duodenal leiomyoma. 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated a mass with mild FDG uptake at the duodenal papilla (SUVmax, 3.7). 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed intense FAPI uptake in the same region (SUVmax, 9.6). These imaging findings raised suspicion for malignancy. However, histopathologic examination revealed duodenal leiomyoma. This case highlights that benign duodenal leiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of duodenal FAPI-avid malignant lesions.

Introduction And Importance: Duodenal leiomyomas are rare, often asymptomatic benign tumors, typically discovered incidentally during surgery. This case highlights a unique leiomyoma found during robotic Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass (SADI), emphasizing the importance of intraoperative adaptability in bariatric surgery.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old male with a BMI of 56 kg/m underwent robotic SADI.

Introduction: Esophageal leiomyomas are relatively common benign esophageal submucosal tumors (SMTs). Generally, benign tumors do not accumulate fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), but it is not rare for FDG to accumulate in uterine, duodenal, or esophageal leiomyomas. In our case, we performed peroral endoscopic tumor resection (POET) for an esophageal leiomyoma with FDG accumulation.

Introduction: Duodenal leiomyomas are rare mesenchymal tumors. To date, several studies have reported on the safety and feasibility of surgical intervention for duodenal leiomyomas. However, minimally invasive surgery has rarely been performed in cases with duodenal leiomyomas.

Objective: This document presents the findings of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) on the diagnosis, management, and surveillance of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and associated tumors. The task force included a diverse group of experts in endocrinology, oncology, genetics, surgery, and patient representation. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to address key issues related to the evaluation, surveillance, and treatment of MEN1-related tumors.
