Özet

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are a very rare type of neuroendocrine tumor, accounting for only 1% to 2% of all primary lung cancers. Pulmonary carcinoids most commonly metastasize to the mediastinal lymph nodes, liver, and bones. Metastasis of pulmonary carcinoids to the skin and subcutaneous tissue is extremely rare and has been reported in only a small number of cases. We presented 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT findings of an exceptional case of a pulmonary carcinoid tumor with extensive skin, subcutaneous, thyroid, and intramuscular metastases.
