Abstract
Somatostatin receptor imaging findings of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with diffuse involvement of the pancreas are rarely reported. We present somatostatin receptor PET imaging findings in 3 cases of diffuse pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. One case showed diffuse swelling and diffusely intense activity of the pancreas with multiple metastases in the peripancreatic lymph nodes and liver. The other 2 cases showed diffusely intense activity of the pancreas without metastasis. The pancreatic tumor extended into the duodenum in all the 3 cases. Familiarity with this rare pattern of radiotracer uptake in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor may be helpful for the diagnosis.
