Abstract

68Ga-DOTA NOC PET-CT imaging has been shown to have high accuracy for the evaluation of neuroendocrine tumours. We
present the case of a 59-year-old male with well differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumour (grade II) treated with surgery.
68Ga-DOTA NOC PET/CT was performed to rule out metastasis. 68Ga-DOTA NOC showed physiological uptake in the bilateral
adrenal and horseshoe kidney appearing as the famous character Super Mario. There is no evidence of any abnormal
somatostatin avid lesion.
Keywords: 68Ga-DOTA NOC PET-CT, horseshoe kidney, neuroendocrine tumors, PET/CT
