Abstract

68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT is a reliable imaging modality in the diagnosis and therapy planning of symptomatic meningiomas. We present a case of a 74-year-old woman where a supposed SSTR-positive sphenoid wing meningioma turned out to be a breast cancer metastasis. Our case shows that dural metastases from breast cancer might represent a clinical pitfall in 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT.
