| Description: |
Rationale:In the diagnostics of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), scintigraphy and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) with 111Indium-Octreotide occupy a prominent place.The introduction in clinical practice of 68Gallium-labelled somatostatin analogues (DOTA-TOC, DOTA-TATE, DOTA-NOC) for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT), significantly improved NETs diagnostics due to greater sensitivity and improved lesion detection in addition to better patient convenience and decreased radiation dose.Patient concerns:We report a case of a patient who was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor of the ileocecal valve.Diagnoses:Diagnosis was made by ultrasonography, CT, and colonoscopy. Hystology after surgery was G2 NET of ileo-cecal valve. Restaging was carried out by 111In-Octreotide SPECT/CT and, 1 month later, by 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. 18F-FDG PET/C was also carried out.Interventions:68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT showed larger disease that modified dise. |
