Breast Uptake of Ga-68 DOTA-TATE in a Nursing Woman with Net Diagnosis

Nöroendokrin tümörler, yüzeylerinde somatostatin reseptörü exprese eden heterojen bir tümör grubudur. Ga-68 işaretli somatostatin analogları ile yapılan PET/BT, NET'lerde önemli bir görüntüleme modalitesi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Radyoaktif ajanın normal dağılımının bilinmesi yanlış yorumlamaların önlenmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Biz bu vakada emziren bir hastada fizyolojik Ga-68 meme tutulumunu bildirdik.

NET Tanılı Emziren bir Kadında Ga-68 DOTA-TATE Meme Tutulumu

Neuroendocrine tumors are heterogenous group of tumors that expresses somatostatin receptors on their cell surfaces. PET/CT with Ga-68 labeled somatostatin analogues has been used as an important imaging modality in the NETs. It's important to know normal biodistribution of radiotracer to avoid misinterpretation. We report physiologic breast uptake of Ga-68 in a nursing patient.
