Abstract-Vorschau
AbstractMedullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor that may express somatostatin receptors, enabling imaging with ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. Brain metastases from MTC are extremely rare, particularly in the absence of an identifiable primary tumor. We present a 63-year-old male with occult MTC and elevated serum calcitonin levels (27 pg/mL). ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT demonstrated focal tracer uptake in the ri…
