Abstract
Abstract
Pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) is a rare pulmonary neoplasm. Although 18F-FDG PET/CT has been shown to present with increased metabolic activity in PMEC, literature does not report increased somatostatin receptor expression in these tumors. We present the case of a 15-year-old boy where PMEC mimicked a typical carcinoid of the lung on DOTANOC PET/CT by showing significant uptake on 68Ga-DOTANOC.
