title: Paraganglioma and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with rare metastatic sites detected on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging.
abstract: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) represent a small percentage of all pancreatic malignancies, and most of these present as metastatic disease. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy had been used successfully for the assessment of patients with NET. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy is indispensable for localization of ectopic NET and the distribution of NET throughout the body.
