We report a rare case of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. Sarcomas generally exhibit an abnormal increased FDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, while spindle cell rhabdosarcomas exhibits a significantly increased lesion uptake on 68Ga FAPI PET/CT imaging compared to 18F-FDG. This case suggests that 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT has potential value in evaluating spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma.
