Abstract
Abstract
A 53-year-old man underwent both 18F-FDG and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT to evaluate a mass in the left upper abdomen. The scans demonstrated intense uptake of both 18F-FDG and 68Ga-PSMA in the mass. However, a nodule in the left lobe of the liver showed increased uptake of 68Ga-PSMA, which was not FDG avid. Histopathological examination after surgical resection of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (G2). Subsequently, 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT demonstrated intense radioactivity of the nodule in the left lobe of the liver consistent with hepatic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumor.
