Abstract

A 58-year-old man who underwent surgery for a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor of pancreatic origin was evaluated with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging in the follow-up period. After PET/CT findings consistent with disease remission, the patient was started on leflunomide treatment with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The patient received leflunomide for 6 months. Then, 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan was repeated to evaluate the primary disease outcome. Besides the disease remission, we also observed alterations in DOTATATE uptakes of some tissues and organs. In this case, we present the changes in 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan findings after leflunomide use.
