68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Reveals Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in a Case of Suspected Sphenoid Wing Meningioma.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2018, Volume: 43, Issue:4

    In this case of suspected sphenoid wing meningioma, Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT showed a somatostatin receptor (SSR)-expressing tumor with extension to the nasopharynx and SSR-expressing cervical lymph nodes. Subsequent biopsy from the nasopharynx revealed an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated, undifferentiated World Health Organization type 3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a potential clinical pitfall due to the reported high SSR expression of this tumor subtype. In consideration of the high target-to-background contrast, SSR ligands might be superior to F-FDG for EBV-associated NPC PET imaging, particularly at the skull base. Somatostatin receptor ligands might furthermore offer interesting theranostic possibilities for patients with advanced/extensive EBV-associated NPC.

68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of a solitary fibrous tumor of the nasopharynx.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2014, Volume: 39, Issue:8

    Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare group of mesenchymal tumors that occurs predominantly in the pleura. The role of PET/CT imaging in characterizing the SFT is not well reported. Mesenchymal tumors may express somatostatin receptors. We hereby report a rare case of SFT of the nasopharynx showing Ga DOTATATE avidity.
