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 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...
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 کاملTwins in spirit - episode I: comparative preclinical evaluation of [68Ga]DOTATATE and [68Ga]HA-DOTATATE
BACKGROUND Recently, an intra-patient comparison demonstrated that the somatostatin (sst) ligand [(68)Ga]HA-DOTATATE ([(68)Ga]DOTA-3-iodo-Tyr(3)-octreotate) provides PET images comparable to or superior to those obtained with [(68)Ga]DOTATATE. To provide a comprehensive basis for nevertheless observed slight differences in tracer biodistribution and dosimetry, the characteristics of [(68)Ga]HA-...
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...
