Key result
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT successfully visualized a constellation of characteristic findings associated with Von Hippel-Lindau disease in a single imaging modality.
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT can effectively demonstrate multiple VHL-related tumors in a single imaging modality.
May aid VHL tumor detection via 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT; leaves open need for validation in larger cohorts.
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is a rare predominantly hereditary syndrome characterized by multiple benign and malignant tumors that can affect different organ systems. We present representative images of a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in a patient with confirmed VHL gene mutation, which demonstrates a constellation of findings commonly seen in these patients in one single imaging modality.
