Abstract
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are characterized by specific tissue characteristics targeted by molecular imaging. Functional imaging is an important diagnostic tool because most NETs have high cell surface somatostatin receptor expression levels, which has a great impact on patient management, including better localization of occult tumors in the small intestine and pancreas as well as improved staging and restaging. We report the case of a male diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, that during the follow-up a 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan revealed distant disease (bone and bowel), findings that conventional imaging did not reveal.
