摘要
A 37-year-old woman with clinical and biochemical features of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome underwent Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT to localize the source of ectopic ACTH secretion. The images showed 35 x 45-mm retroperitoneal mass with significantly increased tracer uptake. Plasma-free metanephrines and serum chromogranin levels were normal. Whole-body I-131-MIBG scan including the retroperitoneal mass did not show any abnormal uptake. On excision, histopathology of this paravertebral abdominal mass revealed carcinoid tumor. We suggest the use of Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT as a first-line imaging modality for localization of source of ACTH secretion in ectopic ACTH syndrome.
