Recurrent/Residual Intracranial Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor Revealed on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Sep;43(9):674-675. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002205.

Abstract

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors are benign tumors causing majority of tumor-induced osteomalacia. These tumors are most commonly located in the lower extremities followed by craniofacial regions. However, intracranial lesion is very rare. Here we describe Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT findings of a recurrent intracranial phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor in a 68 year old woman.
