Abstract:
68 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT is well documented in evaluation of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and in other lesions with somatostatin receptor expression such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, neuroblastoma, meningioma, and mesenchymal tumors causing oncogenic osteomalacia. Causes of interpretative pitfalls include prominent pancreatic uncinate process activity, inflammation, osteoblastic activity (degenerative bone disease/fracture/vertebral hemangioma), splenunculi/splenosis, and others. We present a case of extraskeletal paravertebral lesion detected in a known case of breast cancer with increased 68 Ga-DOTANOC uptake later proved to be hemangioma. This is a novel finding and should be kept as a rare benign differential in evaluation of lesions with somatostatin receptor expression.
