Rare Findings of Multiple Bone Metastases From Duodenal Gangliocytic Paraganglioma on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Imaging

Clin Nucl Med. 2024 Dec 1;49(12):1152-1153. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000005524.

Abstract

We present the imaging findings of a 48-year-old woman that metastasized to multiple bones with a history of duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT showed multiple osteolytic bone destruction with intense uptake. Multiple bone metastases originating from duodenal gangliocytic paraganglioma confirmed histopathological results of a biopsy on the chest-back bone.
