[Bone metastasis from gastrinoma without hepatic involvement. Utility of the scintigraphy with 111 In-pentetreotide].

The case of a 54 year old patient suffering from gastrinoma (within a type I multiple endocrine neoplasm) is presented. In 1990, she underwent a surgical resection. Eight years later, she suffered from a pain in the left thigh. The 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy showed bone metastasis. The CT scan did not show any hepatic involvement and the scintigraphy with 111In-Pentetreotide verified bone metastasis of a neuroendocrine tumor as a single expression of the recidive. In this case, the utility of the scintigraphy with octreotide to facilitate the localization and extent of the neuroendocrine tumors is demonstrated.
