Carcinoid tumors: CT and I-131 meta-iodo-benzylguanidine scintigraphy.

Abstract: The diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) and iodine-131 meta-iodo-benzylguanidine (MIBG) scintiscanning was studied in nine patients with histologically proved carcinoid tumors of intestinal (n = 4), bronchial (n = 3), or thymic (n = 2) origin. CT scans clearly depicted the tumors and metastases in relation to surrounding vital structures but did not provide findings specific for carcinoids. The appearance on CT of an abdominal soft-tissue mass with a radiating pattern of linear densities was found to … Show more

“…Carcinoid tumors have highly suggestive CT patterns when radiating soft-tissue strands in the mesentery with displacement of the surrounding bowel loops are associated with a small-sized ruesenteric mass of the right lower quadrant [1,3,6,7,151. The primary tumor site may be difficult or impossible to locate on CT.…”

“…Scintigraphy using meta-iodobenzylguanidine labelled with 131 iodine has been advocated as first choice examination for detecting suspected carcinoids tumours, because of its specific uptake mechanism [57].…”

“…Die Primärtumoren weisen ein in der Regel langsames Wachstum auf, metastasieren jedoch früh, so daß bei Diagnosestellung bereits in ca. 80% der Fälle Lebermetastasen vorliegen (1,17).…”

“…Dies hat allerdings bei keinem unserer Patienten zu einer falsch-negativen Beurteilung geführt, da in diesen Fällen immer eine diffuse Metastasierung in der Leber vorlag, wobei sich mehrspeichernde mit nekrotischen, nicht oder nur ringförmig speichernden Arealen abwechselten. (1,14). Insbesondere bei sehr kleinen Leberherden, die sich szintigraphisch aufgrund geringer Speicherung nur schwer von physiologischer Anreicherung abheben, zeigt sich manchmal die CT überlegen, so daß sie bei negativem Octreotide-Szintigramm zusätzliche Informationen geben kann.…”
