68Ga-DOTATATE Uptake in Ischemic Stroke

Émilie Vallée et al. Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

A 76-year-old man known to have a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with hepatic and lymph nodes metastasis had a follow-up Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT before Lu-DOTATATE therapy. A new cerebral lesion expressing somatostatin receptors was discovered in the right temporal lobe, suggestive of an ischemic stroke territory. This was later confirmed from the hospital chart where an ischemic stroke was described a month ago.
