Abstract
Aims: Neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms which express high quantity of somatostatin receptors. Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET scan is used to detect these tumors. In this case presentation, it is aimed to show the role of Ga-68 DOTATATE PET scan in detecting neuroendocrine tumors. Case Report: Sixty-four-year-old female consulted Trakya University Hospital Department of Nuclear Medicine with a diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors in her various visceral organs. Galium-68 DOTATATE PET scan was used to detect the lesions and afterwards peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with Lutetium (Lu)-177 DOTATATE was given to the patient. Conclusion: Galium-68 DOTATATE PET scan plays a major role in detecting neuroendocrine tumors with high accuracy.
