Abstract
- Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide present in neurons, endocrine cells, and a wide range of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTANOC, and 68Ga-DOTATATE are current SST analogues used for PET/CT which bind to SST receptors expressed in NETs. These SST analogues have been used successfully for diagnosis of SST-expressing tumors with a more sensitive detection technique than conventional scintigraphy. However, there is a lack of clinical data on the differentiation between NETs and other malignant tumors or benign pathological conditions. Here, we report a case of Paget’s disease mimicking bone metastasis of NET on PET/CT due to increased 68Ga-DOTANOC uptake and review examples of similar cases in the literature.
