Postoperative <scp><sup>68</sup>Ga</scp>‐<scp>DOTATATE</scp> positron emission tomography has a low yield in incidental appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours
These data indicate that in most cases, post-surgical <sup>68</sup>Ga-DOTATATE PET is negative in patients with incidentally detected appendiceal NETs. Clinical outcome data suggest that <sup>68</sup>Ga-DOTATATE PET should be reserved for patients with large tumours (>20 mm) or those displaying goblet cell features.
