Rare metastases diagnosed on 68Ga-DOTATOC-PET/CT in small intestinal and pancreatic NETs

#3731

Introduction: Neuroendocrine metastases to the orbita, heart, breast, bone, Virchow's lymph node, and pancreas are rarely encountered in small intestinal (SI-NETs) and pancreatic NETs (P-NETs).

Aim(s): We aimed to assess the prevalence of rare metastatic locations in patients with well-differentiated SI-NETs and P-NETs, who had undergone 68Ga-DOTATOC-PET/CT at diagnosis and/or follow-up.

Materials and methods: In this retrospective analysis of 753 SI-NET patients and 418 P-NET patients treated at two tertiary referral centers, rare metastases were evident in 26.5% (310/1171) of the patient cohort.
