Thymic Carcinoid Tumor

We report a case of a young woman with Cushing’s syndrome (CS), in whom although endocrine investigations and negative pituitary imaging were suggestive of ectopic ACTH secretion, the results of inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) sampling after coricotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation were suggestive of pituitary ACTH hypersecretion. 111In-labelled octreotide and high-resolution computer tomography (CT) revealed a lesion possibly responsible for the ACTH source in the thymus. Thymectomy confirmed concomitant ectopic CRH and probable ACTH production by a thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma. After an 8-year remission period the patient developed a clinical and biochemical relapse. A high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax showed a 2-cm nodule in the thymic bed, which was positive on a [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan. However, a repeated thymectomy did not result in remission. A repeat [18F]FDG PET study showed persistent disease in the thymic bed and also uptake in the adrenals. The patient underwent bilateral adrenalectomy, which resulted in clinical remission. A further [18F]FDG PET scan 8 months later showed no progression of the thymic tumor and confirmed complete excision of the adrenals. This is a rare case of concomitant CRH and ACTH secretion from a thymic carcinoid tumor; the case illustrates the usefulness of functional imaging with [18F]FDG PET in the diagnosis, management and follow-up of neuroendocrine tumors.

Hypoxic State

Abstract Background [18F]Fluoromisonidazole ([18F]FMISO) is a PET imaging probe widely used for the detection of hypoxia. We previously reported that [18F]FMISO is metabolized to the glutathione conjugate of the reduced form in hypoxic cells. In addition, we found that the [18F]FMISO uptake level varied depending on the cellular glutathione conjugation and excretion ability such as enzyme activity of glutathione-S-transferase and expression levels of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, an efflux transporter), in addition to the cellular hypoxic state. In this study, we evaluated whether MRP1 activity affected [18F]FMISO PET imaging. Methods FaDu human pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cells were pretreated with MRP1 inhibitors (cyclosporine A, lapatinib, or MK-571) for 1 h, incubated with [18F]FMISO for 4 h under hypoxia, and their radioactivity was then measured. FaDu tumor-bearing mice were intravenously injected with [18F]FMISO, and PET/CT images were acquired at 4 h post-injection (1st PET scan). Two days later, the same mice were pretreated with MRP1 inhibitors (cyclosporine A, lapatinib, or MK-571) for 1 h, and PET/CT images were acquired (2nd PET scan). Results FaDu cells pretreated with MRP1 inhibitors exhibited significantly higher radioactivity than those without inhibitor treatment (cyclosporine A: 6.91 ± 0.27, lapatinib: 10.03 ± 0.47, MK-571: 10.15 ± 0.44%dose/mg protein, p < 0.01). In the in vivo PET study, the SUVmean ratio in tumors [calculated as after treatment (2nd PET scan)/before treatment of MRP1 inhibitors (1st PET scan)] of the mice treated with MRP1 inhibitors was significantly higher than those of control mice (cyclosporine A: 2.6 ± 0.7, lapatinib: 2.2 ± 0.7, MK-571: 2.2 ± 0.7, control: 1.2 ± 0.2, p < 0.05). Conclusion In this study, we revealed that MRP1 inhibitors increase [18F]FMISO accumulation in hypoxic cells. This suggests that [18F]FMISO-PET imaging is affected by MRP1 inhibitors independent of the hypoxic state.

Abstract BACKGROUND Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) planning for patients with meningiomas can be confounded by difficulty in identifying the tumor boundary, especially in those who have had prior surgery. Recent data have suggested the benefit of 68Ga-DOTATATE CT/PET scans in delineation of meningioma compared to MRI alone. We propose that incorporating 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scans in addition to MRI in SRS planning will provide better target identification and tumor coverage compared to MRI alone. METHODS We reviewed patients with meningioma who had MRI and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET imaging over 12 months. Images were imported into Velocity treatment planning software and separated into two different sessions, one in which only the MRI was accessible, and a second which had the PET scan fused to the MRI. Three different users were asked to contour the residual meningioma as gross tumor volume (GTV) first with MRI alone, and then with the PET/MRI fusion. The volume of each GTV pre-and post-PET fusion was compared and a Dice index was generated. RESULTS Four patients with 6 GTV targets were identified. PET fusion identified new lesions close to the initial GTV targets in 2 patients. The first was a discontinuous dural lesion in the post-op bed. The second was a nodular dural lesion along the left high parietal convexity adjacent to a prior craniectomy and mesh duraplasty site. In the third patient, PET scan identified a greater extent of disease in the skull base. Across all observers, GTV volumes were significantly increased when PET fusion was used. The average volume (cc) increase was 111.6%±66.2%. The average Dice index was 0.58±0.17. CONCLUSION 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan fused with MRI improved the visualization of meningiomas in patients undergoing SRS. A larger experience is needed to confirm this trend. We have begun to use DOTATATE-PET imaging regularly when imaging patients with meningiomas for SRS.

Suspicious Lesions

PET/CT scans are frequently used in the initial workup of suspicious lesions but not all that lights up on a PET is cancerous. We wish to discuss a case of silicone-induced granuloma mimicking malignancy and the role of other imaging modalities for further workup.
