Altered Biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTATOC.

ABSTRACT: 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT of a patient with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor reveals an abnormal biodistribution of the tracer with a vascular binding and a very low fixation on the known lesions despite the temporary discontinuation of "cold" somatostatin analogs. A possible interaction with a high intake of turmeric may be suspected by inhibition of hepatic uptake process.
