Abstract
A 71-year-old man with a newly discovered metastatic grade II neuroendocrine tumor of the terminal ileum was referred for a 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan to stage the disease and assess suitability for PRRT (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy). The patient was known to have secondary nodal and bone/liver metastatic disease through prior morphological investigations. PET images revealed an atypical pattern of metastatic disease, showcasing secondary lesions in bilateral extraocular muscles, the myocardium, and both testes. The patient was pauci-symptomatic and only reported fatigue and diarrhea. Management involved lanreotide administration, and PRRT is being envisaged.
