Abstract:

A 49-year-old man was referred to the University Hospital of Pointe-à-Pitre for abdominal pains. He underwent a midgut neuroendocrine tumor (NET) resection 8 years ago. The computed tomography revealed multiple liver metastases. 111In-pentetreotide, SPECT/CT identified liver metastases and a suspect cardiac uptake. A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a thickening of the bottom wall of the heart, measuring 24 mm compatible with a cardiac metastasis of the NET.111In-Pentetreotide SPECT/CT remains a good functional imaging compared to conventional somatostatin receptor scintigraphy to precise anatomical localization of NET metastases and could help to select the best morphological imaging to complete the staging of metastatic NET. The delayed detection of the cardiac metastasis did not allow setting up an effective management and the patient dead due to an uncommon hepatic metastasis compression of the heart.
