68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT and MR in the Evaluation of Meningeal Metastasis From Esthesioneuroblastoma: A Case Report

Clin Nucl Med. 2021 Jul 1;46(7):e378-e380. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003593.

Abstract

Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor arising from olfactory neuroepithelium. PET/CT with different tracers such as 18F-FDG and 68Ga-somatostatin-receptor tracers has demonstrated its utility for the evaluation of disease. We present the case of a woman previously treated for esthesioneuroblastoma performing MR and 18Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT demonstrating dural metastasis of disease with a strong correspondence between conventional and functional imaging.
