Purpose In neuroendocrine liver metastases of unknown primary,a multimodality approach is usually adopted and consistsof transabdominal ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound(EUS), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), nuclear medicine techniques, endoscopy andexploratory surgery. The purpose of the study is to evaluatethe diagnostic value of 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emissiontomography (PET)/CT as part of a multimodality approach inneuroendocrine liver metastases of unknown primary. Materials and Methods Six patients (M:F=5:1, age range 28–56 years) with immunohistochemically proven neuroendocrineliver metastases but inconclusive initial CT work-upwere retrospectively analysed. Clinical finding, histopathology,comparative imaging and follow-up were used to validatethe results when ethically justified. Results 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT identified the primarytumour in five out of six (83.3 %) patients: pancreas (n =4)and stomach (n =1). Out of three patients with indeterminateprimary on initial CT, two patients were confirmed by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. Absence of uptake in indeterminateprimary of one patient was later confirmed negative by histopathology. In another three patients with undetected primaryon initial CT, primary site was demonstrated in all patientswith unsuspected metastases in two patients on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/ CT. No further work-up was done to confirmthe primary in patients with distantmetastases. Change ofmanagement was observed in three out of six (50 %) patients. Conclusion Our small study indicates that 68Ga-DOTATATEPET/CT is a promising diagnostic option in the multimodalityapproach to neuroendocrine liver metastases of unknownprimary origin.

Ectopic thyroid or thyroid ectopia is a rare developmental anomaly with the prevalence of 1 per 100,000-300,000 population. Even rarer, such an anomaly manifests as dual thyroid ectopia. To our best knowledge, only one case has been reported on dual thyroid ectopia with Graves' disease in the English literature. We present here a case of dual thyroid ectopia complicated by Graves' disease, whereby the diagnosis was rendered through judicious use of various diagnostic modalities coupled with a close clinical follow-up. In this case, therapeutic consideration should be personalized with proper informed consent of the patient.
