Patient with initially diffuse pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) with transformation into an atypical carcinoid was referred for Ga-68 DOTATOC PET/CT. Based on weak somatostatin receptor expression, patients was treated with chemotherapy (folinic acid, 5 fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) and showed a good response. a-e Before chemotherapy. f-j After chemotherapy. a, f Maximum intensity projection PET images. b, c, g, h Axial PET images. d, e, i, j Corresponding axial CT images. Partial remission of the mildly receptor positive lesion in the right lung is well appreciated on CT (arrows). On MIP images, the previously receptor-positive hilar and mediastinal lymph node lesions also show response to treatment
