Testicular Metastasis of Jejunal Neuroendocrine Tumor on (68)Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells and capable of metastasis. Most of them are found in the gastrointestinal tract; however, they can also be rarely seen in other organs. Testicular neuroendocrine tumors account for less than 1% of all testicular neop...

description Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells and capable of metastasis. Most of them are found in the gastrointestinal tract; however, they can also be rarely seen in other organs. Testicular neuroendocrine tumors account for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. They may present as primary testicular or secondary tumors from extratesticular sources. Jejunal neuroendocrine tumor metastasis to the testis is extremely rare. We present the case of a 61-year-old man with a jejunal neuroendocrine tumor and metastases to bilateral testicles revealed on Gallium-68-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
