title: 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT for accurate delineation of disease extent in a case of sinonasal small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from the cells of the neural crest. We present a rare case of primary sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma in a 61-year-old male patient where somatostatin receptor PET/CT with 68Ga-DOTANOC correctly delineated the extent of primary tumor as compared to contrast-enhanced CT, thereby changing patient management.
