Abstract
A 71-year-old man who was diagnosed with carotid body paraganglioma was referred to 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT for primary evaluation, which revealed unknown bony metastasis with intense 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake. Head and neck paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors, with a 10% of malignancy rate, and identification of metastatic sites is important in staging and prognosis of the disease. We aimed to highlight the impact of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT on patient management, especially for equivocal lesions, as in our case.
