Pineal Gland Metastasis From Gastric Carcinoid—A Rare Manifestation

Pineal Gland Metastasis From Gastric Carcinoid—A Rare Manifestation Abstract Pineal region metastases are very rare, occurring in 0.4% to 3.8% of patients with solid tumors and most frequently arise from a lung cancer primary tumor. We present a case of a 67-year-old man with a gastric well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) metastatic to the pineal gland identified on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging followed by MRI confirmation. To our knowledge, this is the third NET case to be reported in the literature with such presentation and first case to be described on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. A case of metastatic bronchial NET as well as a case of metastatic esophageal NET to the pineal gland were reported previously. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Clinical Nuclear Medicine Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Abstract Pineal region metastases are very rare, occurring in 0.4% to 3.8% of patients with solid tumors and most frequently arise from a lung cancer primary tumor. We present a case of a 67-year-old man with a gastric well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) metastatic to the pineal gland identified on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging followed by MRI confirmation. To our knowledge, this is the third NET case to be reported in the literature with such presentation and first case to be described on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. A case of metastatic bronchial NET as well as a case of metastatic esophageal NET to the pineal gland were reported previously.
