Rare Occurrence of Hypergastrinemia Due to Thoracic Neuroendocrine Tumor: Detection and Characterization by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT.
Hypergastrinemia is a prominent feature of a segment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, the gastrinomas, occurring mostly in the gastrinoma triangle. Hypergastrinemia due to a thoracic neuroendocrine tumor is a very rare occurrence, with a paucity of literature elucidating the same. We report a case of thoracic neuroendocrine tumor in a patient who had initially presented with sym...
متن کاملThe role of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in suspected neuroendocrine tumors.
UNLABELLED In patients with suspected but yet not localized neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), early diagnosis or reliable exclusion is crucial for optimal individual prognosis and therapy. Despite recourse to several imaging modalities, the definite diagnosis of NET can be challenging. Therefore, we tested (68)Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT as a tool for improved diagnosis in a cohort of patients with suspecte...
متن کاملThe diagnostic role of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in the detection of neuroendocrine tumours.
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computer tomography (CT) using (68)Ga-DOTATATE is a promising method for the evaluation of patients with recognised or suspected neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of (68)Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in the visualisation of the expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) and identification of n...
متن کامل68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Interobserver Agreement for Neuroendocrine Tumor Assessment: Results of a Prospective Study on 50 Patients.
We evaluated observer agreement for 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT interpretations in patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET). METHODS 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was performed on 50 patients with known or suspected NET of the small bowel (n = 19), pancreas (n = 14), lung (n = 4), or other location (n = 13). The images were reviewed by 7 observers, who used a standardized interpretation approach. The observe...
متن کاملA comparison of 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG PET/CT in pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors.
UNLABELLED Our purpose was to compare the performance of (68)Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid-d-Phe(1),Tyr(3)-octreotate (DOTATATE), a novel selective somatostatin receptor 2 PET ligand, and (18)F-FDG in the detection of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors using PET/CT, with correlation of uptake and tumor grade on histology. METHODS The imaging findings of the fir...
