21-year-old patient with a typical bronchial carcinoid (TC) who underwent a [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan showing two foci of intense tracer uptake on the MIP image (A) corresponding to the primary hilar tumour (red arrow, B) and to an infracarinal nodal metastasis (blue arrow, C), as well as an [18F]FDG PET/CT scan showing only a limited tracer uptake in the tumour (red arrow, visible on the MIP image (A) and an axial fusion image (E)) and no increased tracer uptake in the infracarinal nodal metastasis (blue arrow, F). The SUVmax values on [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT were 110 and 9.2 in the tumour and in the infracarinal lymph node, respectively, whereas those on [18F]FDG PET/CT were 4.7 and 2.3 in the tumour and the infracarinal lymph node, respectively
