Article Title: Enchondroma of tibia as potential false-positive finding on (68)Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan
Abstract: A 70-year-old man with a history of carcinoid tumor of small bowel was referred for 68Ga-DOTATOC study to evaluate the extent of disease. PET/CT scan revealed known metastatic disease in the liver, with other sites of involvement including pancreas, peritoneum, and bones. In addition, moderately intense uptake was noted in proximal right tibia and further correlation on CT showed metaphyseal lesion with "rings and arcs" calcification suggestive of enchondroma. This case highlights the possibility of overexpression of somatostatin receptors in enchondromas, which has been little explored in literature. © 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
