Metastatic Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Showing 68 Ga-DOTATATE Uptake

Abstract:
The role of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in the evaluation of neuroendocrine tumors is well defined. Nevertheless, 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake may be seen in some tumors other than neuroendocrine tumors as a reflection of tumor blood supply and somatostatin receptor expression. Although 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake has been described in a number of nonneuroendocrine tumors, no case of 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in esophagus adenocarcinoma has been reported. We present the case of a 52-year-old man who had a metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma showing 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake.
