Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare neoplasms and commonly metastasize to liver, lymph nodes and less frequently to bones and lungs. Metastases to other organs are extremely rare and we report a case of NET clinically presenting with bilateral proptosis secondary to metastases in orbits. Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT demonstrated somatostatin receptor overexpressing lesions in bilateral orbits, small intestine, lymph nodes, lungs, heart and testes in the absence of liver metastases.
