Pancreatic serous cystoadenoma (CSA) showing increased tracer uptake at 68-GaDOTA-peptide Positron Emission Tomography (68Ga-DOTA-peptide PET-CT): a case report

Pancreatic serous cystoadenoma (CSA) showing increased tracer uptake at 68-GaDOTA-peptide Positron Emission Tomography (68Ga-DOTA-peptide PET-CT): a case report

Abstract Background Serous cysto-adenoma (SCA) is a rare benign neoplasm of the pancreas. SCA can mimic other pancreatic lesions, such as neuroendocrine tumours. 68Gallium-DOTA-peptide Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is able to image in vivo the over-expression of the somatostatin receptors, play...
