68Ga DOTATOC PET/CT can incidentally detect retiform hemangioendothelioma.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Ga-DOTATOC uptake in retiform hemangioendothelioma may confound NET staging interpretation; leaves open tracer specificity in rare vascular tumors.
A 52-year-old man underwent Ga DOTATOC PET/CT scan for postsurgical staging of a neuroendocrine tumor of the lung. The PET images showed a single focus of increased activity in a soft tissue nodule located posteriorly to a cervical vertebra. Surgical removal of the lesion led to the histological diagnosis of retiform hemangioendothelioma.
