This patient presented with abdominal pain
0:03
and was found to have cosis and she underwent an ERCP.
0:08
They incidentally found a gastric mass that they biopsied
0:13
and came back as well.
0:14
Differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, which is the area
0:17
of abnormal focal haptic that I'm showing you here.
0:21
There is a partially calcified mass
0:25
that extends from the cardia outwards
0:31
and has very intense tracer uptake confirming the
0:35
neuroendocrine origin.
0:38
She has an additional finding on this study that I wanted
0:42
to show you, which is this diffuse uptake in the pancreas,
0:47
which on CT shows as per pancreatic stranding
0:51
and, uh, kind of heterogeneous lation.
0:55
This patient had developed a pancreatitis
0:58
after the ERCP,
1:00
and this was healing pancreatitis
1:02
that we could see on the pet CT as well.
1:07
As we have mentioned before, inflammation can show low level
1:11
of tracer uptake as we can see here,
1:13
and it's not necessarily malignant.
1:18
This is the CT dawn of the abdomen
1:22
with contrast on that patient
1:25
showing the enhancing lesion, erasing from the stomach,
1:30
and also the changes related to pancreatitis
1:33
that patient had.
1:35
So we could explain the diffuse uptake
1:39
and abnormal changes in the pancreas, um, on
1:43
the subsequent PET ct.
