Key Points

Diffuse neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are rare, making exact diagnosis crucial for management.
68Ga-DOTANOC PET CT offers a non-invasive way to differentiate diffuse pancreatic NET from autoimmune pancreatitis.
Accurate diagnosis can facilitate appropriate treatment pathways for affected patients.
The importance of imaging technology in the identification of rare tumors cannot be overstated.

Implication

Case report illustrates diagnosis of diffuse pancreatic NET, highlighting the role of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET CT in distinguishing autoimmune pancreatitis.

Abstract

Diffuse neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the pancreas is rare, with only a few documented case reports in the literature. Differentiating diffuse pancreatic NET from autoimmune pancreatitis is critical for effective patient management, and 68 Ga-DOTANOC PET CT can facilitate non-invasive diagnosis.
