- Figure 1
- The patient was injected with 25 mCi of Tc-99m tektrotyd (octreotide) followed by scan of the whole body and static images and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT for chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Above images show scintigraphic evidence of octreotide avid lesion in the pancreatic head A) coronal view, B) axial view, C) parasagittal SPECT/CT images. D) Shows maximum intensity projection (MIP) image, with arrow pointing to the head of pancreas, showing octreotide avid lesion.

- A) Histological examination shows diffuse infiltration by bland-looking neoplastic epithelial cells arranged in cords, solid nests, and trabeculae (×100, hematoxylin and eosin). B) The neoplastic cells are small to medium sized showing low grade neuroendocrine features in the form of very rare mitotic figures, a salt-and-pepper chromatin pattern, uniform round nuclei, and a rim of amphophilic finely granular cytoplasm, (black arrow) (×200, Hematoxylin&Eosin). C) Diffusely positive neoplastic cells for neuroendocrine markers, chromogranin and synaptophysin (black arrow), (x100). D) Immunohistochemical stain for Ki67 highlights the very low mitotic activity of these neoplastic cells, less than 2% (black arrows), (x 200).
