Bilateral ovarian metastasis from neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is uncommon. Ovarian NET could be primary or metastatic, and if it is bilateral, then the chances of metastatic disease are from 88% to 94%. Proper identification and appropriate management become necessary in such patients. Somatostatin receptor imaging by Ga-labeled DOTANOC ([1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-1-NaI3-Octreotide) PET/CT can be used for localization, staging, and restaging of NET, and it also has an impact on appropriate clinical management of patients with NET. We present here a case of somatostatin receptor expressing bilateral ovarian metastases from NET demonstrated by Ga DOTANOC PET/CT imaging.
双侧卵巢神经内分泌肿瘤(NET)转移并不常见。卵巢 NET 可以是原发性的也可以是转移性的,如果是双侧,那么转移疾病的可能性为 88%至 94%。在这些患者中,需要正确识别和适当管理。使用 Ga 标记的 DOTANOC ([1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷-1,4,7,10-四乙酸]-1-NaI3-奥曲肽)PET/CT 进行生长抑素受体成像可用于 NET 的定位、分期和再分期,并且对 NET 患者的适当临床管理也有影响。我们在此介绍一例通过 Ga DOTANOC PET/CT 成像显示的表达生长抑素受体的双侧卵巢 NET 转移病例。
