Abstract:A 71-year-old male patient with a newly discovered metastatic grade II neuroendocrine tumor of the terminal ileum was referred for a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan to stage the disease and assess suitability for PRRT (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy).

PET images revealed an atypical pattern of metastatic disease, showcasing secondary lesions in bilateral extraocular muscles, the myocardi… Show more
