A 48-year-old female patient underwent splenopancreasectomy for a 4-cm pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), grade G2, located in the pancreatic tail. One year after surgery, the patient presented an increased serum level of the tumor marker chromogranin A (value: 160 U/l). Therefore, she underwent somatostatin receptor PET/CT using gallium-68DOTATOC for restaging. This imaging method showed ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Backgrounds Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) based positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a novel approach for detecting myocardial inflammation and, consequently, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). However, the diagnostic performance SSTR PET/CT was only evaluated in small studies. Purpose To evaluate clinical diagnosing...

RATIONALE Choline (CH) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) with fluorine 18 (F) CH is increasingly used not only to evaluate patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer but also to assess metastatic lesions that are difficult or impossible to identify using more conventional modalities. Our experience with CH PET/CT has shown that it can also be used for many o...

UNLABELLED We report about a young female who developed an unusual and an aggressive phenotype of the MEN1 syndrome characterized by the development of a pHPT, malignant non-functioning pancreatic and duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasias, a pituitary adenoma, a non-functioning adrenal adenoma and also a malignant jejunal NET at the age of 37 years. Initial Sanger sequencing could not detect a ger...
