Abstract :
Forty-four year-old woman recently underwent an ileocecal resection operation and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ileal neuroendocrine tumor. Then Gallium-68 DOTA-TATE PET/CT was performed to assess possible metastases. On Ga-68 DOTA-TATE PET/CT images, two foci of increased activity were seen in the right parametrial region which were consistent with somatostatin receptor type-2 (sstr-2) expressing metastases (Figure 1, left column). PET/CT images also revealed situs inversus totalis (SIT) incidentally. There were right-sided aortic arch (arrow, A), right-sided heart (double arrow, B), left-sided liver (double arrow, C), right-sided spleen (arrow, C) and pancreatic malrotation (double arrow, D).
