18F-FDG, 68Ga-PSMA, and 64Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT—One Patient, Three Cancers

Abstract A 67-year-old man with a history of multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and rectal carcinoid tumor underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT for surveillance, which revealed a non–FDG-avid lesion in the liver. To rule out metastasis from prostate cancer and carcinoid tumor, 68 Ga-PSMA and 64 Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT scans were ordered for respective malignancies. The 64 Cu-DOTATATE scan showed radiotracer uptake in the hepatic lesion compatible with metastasis of the carcinoid tumor. Additionally, both 68 Ga-PSMA and 64 Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT scans revealed nodal metastasis within the pelvis. This case highlights the importance of appropriate radiotracer selection in conjunction with patient history in the evaluation of patients with multiple malignancies.

The 64 Cu-DOTATATE scan showed radiotracer uptake in the hepatic lesion compatible with metastasis of the carcinoid tumor. Additionally, both 68 Ga-PSMA and 64 Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT scans revealed nodal metastasis within the pelvis.
