Abstract

A 47-year-old woman with atypical pituitary adenoma was referred to the neurosurgery department due to recent back pain. She had multiple transsphenoidal surgery, stereotactic body radiation, and 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy. Her spinal MRI showed multiple spinal masses. The patient underwent 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to confirm the metastatic spread of the disease. PET/CT images showed increased uptake at the local recurrent tumor site and spinal metastases confirmed by biopsy to pituitary carcinoma. Our case presents the role of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in patients with pituitary carcinoma.
