From: The value of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT in diagnosis and management of suspected pituitary tumors
A 58-year-old man was presented with ectopic ACTH secreting Cushing syndrome. FDG PET/CT images (a–c) showed a non-avid lung nodule. MIP, trans-axial CT, PET, and fused PET/CT images (d–g) show mild focal [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE uptake (SUVmax 1.9) in right lower lobe nodule (black filled arrows). Post-surgery histological diagnosis was typical bronchial carcinoid secreting ACTH. After surgery Cushing’s symptoms is cured. Uptake is also seen with FDG (b, c) and [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE (d, f, g) PET/CT due to a rib fracture (black dashed arrows)
