“…Many benign and malignant tumours over express SS-R in their membranes especially in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) but there are other benign conditions showing an increase number of SSRs, such as granulomatous or inflammatory disease [2] . Octeotride is an analogue whose molecule is a shortened version of somatostatin's, from 8 to 14 aminoacides, sharing its active nuclei and allowing the 111 Indium-DPTA molecule to bind to the N-terminal (d-phe).…”

We present a case report of a patient with a suspicious ileal carcinoid tumour. Clinical examination as well as computer tomography (CT) scan suggested a tumour. Octeotride scan showed uptake in the same bowel loop reported as pathological in CT. The patient underwent surgery and biopsy which reported Crohn's disease (CD). The interest in the case is due to the fact that this is, to the best of our knowledge, the second report of Crohn's disease as a cause of false positive octeotride scan. Unfortunately, no somatostatin receptors could be found in the sample, so further studies should be performed.
