Uptake and Biodistribution of 18F-fluorocholine in Histiocytic Disorders by PET Imaging and Biopsy Measurement
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to discover how 18F-cholineFCH distributes in the body, and see if it can distinguish active histiocytes (tumor) from inflammatory (non- tumor) cells. This tracer has the potential to give the investigators' team more information when trying to identify the tumor cells that are most important to collect with biopsy. In addition, the study will measure levels of 18F-cholineFCH in the biopsy tissue.

PET Imaging This study will enroll patients who have a clinical diagnosis of a systemic histiocytic disorder, and who are scheduled to undergo confirmatory biopsies of the systemic lesions, that were identified by standard imaging modalities. |
Radiation: F-choline PET Scan
Device: FDG-PET
Procedure: biopsy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- percentage of patients who successfully undergo paired biopsies [1 year]
The overall histiocyte content will be described in each patient for each paired biopsy: there will be one biopsy that has high 18F-FCH F-choline uptake and one biopsy that has low 18F-FCH F-choline uptake.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age ≥ 18 years old
-
Suspected but pathologically unconfirmed diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease or Langerhans cell histiocytosis or other histiocytic disorder on the basis of clinical diagnosis, radiologic features, or findings from prior biopsies
Or
- Confirmed diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease or Langerhans cell histiocytosis or other histiocytic disorder and requiring additional diagnostic imaging and biopsy to determine mutational status in order to determine therapeutic options.
Exclusion Criteria:
