Abstract
A 65-year-old woman with a long history of metastasized, highly differentiated (G1) neuroendocrine tumor of pancreatic origin presented for follow-up Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT after 7 peptide receptor radiotherapies. In the previous scan, she already had discrete intracranial tracer accumulations, which were massively progressive in the recent Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT 8 months later. This case illustrates that cerebral metastases in neuroendocrine tumors may occur many years after initial diagnosis, and their somatostatin receptor expression may rise within a few months to a level that reasonably justifies further peptide receptor radiotherapy.
