Value of 18F-PSMA-PET/MRI for Assessment of Recurring Ranula
, Siegmar Reinert 1, Jürgen Frank Schäfer 2, Christian la Fougère 3, Anthony Valentin 1 and Christian Philipp Reinert 2Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors report on a pediatric case of suspected recurrence of a ranula. After several courses of surgical treatment conventional diagnostics could not exclude recurrence. Therefore, PSMA-PET was performed and able to exclude recurrence. The authors conclude that PSMA-PET could be used in cases of inconclusive results of suspected salivary gland disease.
This is an interesting case report and the case is well presented.
Parts of the template are still present at the end of discussion and introduction and discussion habe a very similar beginning which should be altered. Aside, minor check of spelling/wording (e.g. "operation") should be performed.

Reviewer 2 Report
lines 124-125 should be deleted.
Interesting case report; however, to be considered for publication, I think that all the discussion section regarding the possible use of 18F-PSMA in salivary gland detection should be enlarged, and an introduction about the marker ( for what it is traditionally used, why you did propose this use, etc...) should be added, as I found very little in medical literature.
Thank You

As recommended, we enlarged both the introduction section and the discussion section adding more information about the radiotracer PSMA and citing more relevant literature.
