2.2.2.1 Case 1

A 5-year-old male patient visited the hospital because of dizziness and vomiting. A tumorous condition in the brain was suspected on brain CT and MRI. 11C-methionine PET/CT was used for differential diagnosis of the brain mass.

11C-methionine PET/CT demonstrated an increased uptake in the right cerebellar mass. There were no abnormal lesions with increased uptake in the rest of the brain image. The brain mass was proved to be pilocytic astrocytoma (WHO grade I) after tumor removal (Figs. 2.174, 2.175, 2.176, 2.177, 2.178, 2.179, 2.180, and 2.181) [50–52].
