Abstract
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is a highly sensitive and specific imaging modality in detecting neuroendocrine tumors. False-positive DOTATATE uptake poses diagnostic challenges. False-positive uptake in a uterine fibroid is the third most common location. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with clinical concern for possible neuroendocrine tumor showing moderate focal DOTATATE uptake, which was initially thought of to be localized to mesentery on PET/CT images but was subsequently localized to a subserosal uterine fibroid following MRI. Patient underwent hysterectomy, further confirming that the uterine myometrial uptake is within the subserosal fibroid.
