Imaging of bronchial carcinoid tumours with indium-111 pentetreotide.
Neuroendocrine tumours are characterised by the expression of high affinity binding sites for somatostatin. The detection of bronchial carcinoid tumours through scintigraphic imaging is described in two patients using the novel radiolabelled somatostatin analogue indium-111 pentetreotide.

Neuroendocrine tumours are characterised by the expression of high affinity binding sites for somatostatin. The detection of bronchial carcinoid tumours through scintigraphic imaging is described in two patients using the novel radiolabelled somatostatin analogue indium-111 pentetreotide. (Thorax 1994;49:284-286) Large numbers of high affinity somatostatin binding sites have been found on most ...
متن کاملFocal myocardial uptake in a patient with carcinoid tumor by indium-111-pentetreotide on SPECT/CT.
We present a case of a 44 year old man with flushing, diarrhea and markedly elevated 24 hour urinary 5-HIAA level, who was referred for an indium-111 pentetreotide study, after the excision of a carcinoid tumor in the terminal ileum. Scan findings revealed focal uptake in the myocardium and liver, suspicious for metastases. Subsequent transthoracic echocardiogram failed to demonstrate a cardiac...
متن کاملBronchial carcinoid tumours.
Some features of 22 cases of carcinoid tumour are described. The histology of the tumour was the criterion for inclusion in the series. The histology was reviewed by an observer unfamiliar with the clinical features. Six patients, each with an entirely endobronchial tumour of typical histology treated satisfactorily by surgery, are excluded from further consideration; the remaining 16 are consi...
متن کاملRecurrent pneumonia due to bronchial carcinoid tumour in a young patient: the role of (111)in-pentetreotide in imaging studies.
Bronchial carcinoid tumours are an uncommon cause of recurrent pneumonia in young patients. Diagnosis is determined from imaging studies, bronchoscopy, and histological confirmation, and treatment is generally surgical. Two cases are reviewed in order to examine the value of (111)In-DTPA-Phe-octreotide ((111)In-pentetreotide) scintigraphy in the pre-surgical evaluation of these patients. After ...
