İyi diferansiye ileal nöroendokrin tümör (NET) meme metastazı oldukça nadirdir. Altmış iki yaşında iyi diferansiye NET tümör tanılı kadın hastaya, metastatik lezyonlarının somatostatin analoğu ve rapamisinin memeli hedefi inhibitörleri ile tedavi görmekte iken progrese olması nedeniyle yeniden evreleme amacıyla Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/BT görüntüleme yapıldı. Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/BT görüntülemede, sol meme üst dış kadrandaki subsantimetrik nodüler lezyonda yoğun artmış aktivite tutulumu izlendi. Lezyondan yapılan tru-cut biyopsinin histopatolojik incelemesinde iyi diferansiye NET metastazı olduğu tespit edildi (Ki-67 proliferasyon indeksi %1). Anahtar kelimeler: Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/BT, iyi diferansiye nöroendokrin tümör, meme metastazı Öz Breast metastasis of the well differentiated neuroendocrin tumor (WDNET) of the ileum is very rare. A case of a 62-year-old woman with ileal WDNET, who underwent restaging with Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT due to progression of metastatic lesions under the treatment with somatostatin analog and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors. Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT demonstrated intense increased uptake in the subsantimetric nodular lesion in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. The histopathologic findings obtained by tru-cut biopsy revealed WDNET metastasis (Ki-67 proliferation index 1%).
