An Incidental Solitary Plasmacytoma of Bone Mimicking Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastasis on 68Ga-DOTATATE Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
A 54-year-old woman with suspicion of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) was referred for 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) imaging due to clinical findings. A well-defined osteolytic lesion on the corpus of the third lumbar vertebra was evident on CT images with mild uptake of 68Ga-DOTATATE, which led to suspicion of NET metastasis. Histopathologic examination reveale...
متن کاملWhole-Body 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/MRI Versus 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of simultaneous whole-body Ga-DOTANOC PET/MRI compared with Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT for detection of distant metastatic disease in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). METHODS Patients with histologically proven, well-differentiated NET (G1 or G2) were included in this prospective, institutional review...
متن کاملInsulinoma - The incremental value of somatostatin receptor positron emission tomography
Insulinoma ‑ The incremental value of somatostatin receptor positron emission tomography Sir, The clinical diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is by itself difficult and most patients have a delayed diagnosis. In an adult, nondiabetic patient, insulinoma is the most common cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Furthermore, about 10% of insulinomas are believed to have already metastasi...
متن کاملGa-68 Labeled Somatostatin Analogs Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by the heterogeneous nature, frequently indolent course and possibility of multiple and variable anatomic sites of the primary tumor. Somatostatin is a cyclic peptide consisted of 14 amino acids and produced by neuroendocrine, immune, and inflammatory cells. The cerebral cortex, the brain stem, the hypothalamus, the pancreas and the gastrointestina...
متن کاملPaget’s Disease Mimicking Bone Metastasis in a Patient with Neuroendocrine Tumor on 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT
Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide present in neurons, endocrine cells, and a wide range of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTANOC, and 68Ga-DOTATATE are current SST analogues used for PET/CT which bind to SST receptors expressed in NETs. These SST analogues have been used successfully for diagnosis of SST-expressing tumors with a more sensitive detection technique than conv...
