68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of a solitary fibrous tumor of the nasopharynx

Clin Nucl Med. 2014 Aug;39(8):e382-3. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000000274.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare group of mesenchymal tumors that occurs predominantly in the pleura. The role of PET/CT imaging in characterizing the SFT is not well reported. Mesenchymal tumors may express somatostatin receptors. We hereby report a rare case of SFT of the nasopharynx showing Ga DOTATATE avidity.
