Neuroendocrine tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from the cells of the neural crest. We present a rare case of primary sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma in a 61-year-old male patient where somatostatin receptor PET/CT with 68Ga-DOTANOC correctly delineated the extent of primary tumor as compared to contrast-enhanced CT, thereby changing patient management.
神经内分泌肿瘤是一组起源于神经嵴细胞的异质性肿瘤。我们报告了 1 例罕见的 61 岁男性原发性鼻腔鼻窦神经内分泌癌,68Ga-DOTANOC 生长抑素受体 PET/CT 与增强 CT 相比正确描绘了原发肿瘤的范围,从而改变了患者的治疗方案。
