(68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT detection of multiple extracranial localizations in a patient with anaplastic meningioma.

چکیده
We report herein a case of a 65-year-old male with intracranial recurrence of atypical meningioma initially treated with a combination of surgical resection and gamma knife radiotherapy. Afterwards, he underwent a (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT scan in order to evaluate the feasibility of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). The scan identified multiple pulmonary, pleural and lymph node localizations. Histological diagnosis was consistent with intracranial atypical meningioma with diffuse metastatic spread. In our case, we have shown that meningioma with extracranial locations may present high uptake of somatostatin receptor analogues. Among other radionuclides, we believe that (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT may be particularly useful for staging, detection of recurrence, evaluation of disease extension and alternative therapeutic approaches.

متن کاملMeningiomas: A Comparative Study of 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTANOC and 68Ga-DOTATATE for Molecular Imaging in Mice
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to compare the tumor uptake kinetics and diagnostic value of three (68)Ga-DOTA-labeled somatostatin analogues ((68)Ga-DOTATOC, (68)Ga-DOTANOC, and (68)Ga-DOTATATE) using PET/CT in a murine model with subcutaneous meningioma xenografts. METHODS The experiment was performed with 16 male NUDE NU/NU mice bearing xenografts of a human meningioma cell line (CH-157...
متن کامل68Ga-DOTA-D Phe1-Tyr3-Octreotide (DOTATOC)-PET/CT in a Suspected Case of Recurrent Meningioma
We present a case of 45-year-old female who presented with headache for last 1 month. She was a follow-up case of left frontal meningioma that was operated 4 years back. CEMRI of the brain suggested post-surgical changes with no obvious enhancing residual/recurrent lesion. The patient was then referred for 68 Ga DOTANOC PET/CT to rule out recurrent disease. PET/CT revealed a focus of somatostat...
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 کامل68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT clinical impact in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
UNLABELLED Several authors reported the superiority of (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT to conventional imaging (CI) for the assessment of neuroendocrine tumors (NET). However, the detection of a higher number of lesions is not necessarily followed by a modification of disease stage or therapeutic approach. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT on the clinical management ...
