Abstract

Abstract: An 8-year-old girl with refractory high-risk neuroblastoma underwent 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to evaluate the feasibility of potential 177 Lu-DOTATATE therapy. The scan showed multiple foci of abnormal 68 Ga-DOTATATE accumulation in the bone region, indicating the presence of bone metastases. Unexpectedly, an abnormal tracer uptake was noted in the left lateral ventricle area. The contrast-enhanced brain MRI showed obvious enhancement of this lesion, suggesting the diagnosis of choroid plexus metastasis. Our case shows that 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT might be useful in diagnosing choroid plexus metastasis.

68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT对神经母细胞瘤脉络膜丛转移的偶然发现。

摘要：1例8岁难治性高危神经母细胞瘤患者行68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT检查，评估177Lu-DOTATATE治疗的可行性。扫描显示骨区多灶异常68Ga-DOTATATE积聚，提示骨转移存在。出乎意料的是，在左侧脑室区域发现了异常的示踪剂摄取。脑MRI增强显示病灶明显增强，提示脉络膜丛转移。我们的病例显示68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT对脉络膜丛转移的诊断可能是有用的。
