Abstract
A 56-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a pancreatic mass at ultrasound and was therefore referred for a 68Ga-DOTA NOC PET/CT to assess the presence of somatostatin receptors (Fig. 74.1). The scan result was negative. The patient was subsequently operated on, and the final diagnosis was cystic serous adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
