Özet
A 61-year-old man, with a history of prior clear cell renal cell carcinoma in remission, was referred to Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT for the further evaluation of pancreatic tail mass. Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT showed pathologically intense uptake on the pancreatic mass; subsequent biopsy of the pancreatic mass confirmed the diagnosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Ga-68-DOTATATE uptake is not specific for neuroendocrine tumors. In the presence of prior malignancy, it should be kept in mind that malignancies apart from neuroendocrine tumors express somatostatin receptors, and they can show Ga-68-DOTATATE uptake.
