68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT in primary neuroendocrine tumor of the breast

Clin Nucl Med. 2014 Apr;39(4):396-8. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000000390.

Abstract

Primary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the breast is very rare. We present a case of a pathologically confirmed, primary breast NET in a 49-year-old woman with 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT imaging findings. 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT revealed somatostatin receptors expressing active lesions in primary right breast NET with metastases to multiple bilateral axillary and right cervical lymph nodes, bilateral lungs, and multiple skeletal sites.
