ABSTRACT
Metallosis is a medical condition that shows local and systemic clinical symptoms due to the deposition of heavy metal debris in soft tissues and bones due to metallic prostheses. The estimated incidence of Metallosis is around 5%. Clinical presentation and imaging findings can mimic tumor likely situation, However local reactions of Metallosis shows some peculiar features on cross-sectional imaging, and here we present two such cases of Metallosis with its imaging findings.

ABSTRACT: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a variant of HCC. It is a malignant tumor, but its imaging features often overlap focal nodular hyperplasia, which is a benign entity. FDG PET/CT is also not much help in these cases because both lesions do not concentrate FDG. We present one such case of fibrolamellar HCC with FAPI PET/CT positivity.

ABSTRACT: 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT is one of the most common imaging uses for prostate cancer imaging. Although initially thought to be specific for prostate cancer, there are many evidences that are coming of its concentration in many other neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathologies. Helicobacter pylori is the most common bacteria causing gastric inflammation and usually presents with gastroduodenal ulcer. Here we present one unusual case of benign gastric mass formation caused by H. pylori infection with PSMA concentration.
