Abstract

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective and usually well-tolerated treatment for unresectable or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors expressing somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin analog which is labeled by ?- or ?-emitting radionuclide binds specifically to SSTRs abnormally expressed in NETs. The two radiopharmaceuticals most commonly used for PRRT are 90Y-DOTATOC and 177Lu-DOTATATE which have been demonstrated to provide an effective tumor response and symptom relief with positive impact on survival. Chronic side effects on the kidneys and bone marrow are generally mild. The radiopharmaceuticals is internalized into the cell for the irradiation. Furthermore, the long half-life of the analog maintains a persistent therapeutic effect. Different approaches are now under evaluation to improve PRRT efficacy, it may be expected that the use of PRRT will increase in the coming years.

Abstract

Somatostatin, also known as growth hormone-inhibiting factor (GIF) or somatotropin release-inhibiting factor (SRIF), is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation. Somatostatin can be regarded as secretory pan-inhibitory,because it can inhibit secretion of almost all endocrine and exocrine glands. Somatostatin has 2 active forms (somatostatin-14 and 28), but the short half-life of the hormone was one of the reasons why the native hormone was not feasible for routine clinical practice. Somatostatin analog was synthesized for the first time in 1980-1982 and proved to be more resistant to degradation and more potent than native hormone. There are five somatostatin receptors (SSTR1-5). The genes encoding human SSTR1-5 are located in chromosome 14q13, 17q24, 22q13.1, 20p11.2 and 16p13.3. SSTR expression pattern and complex signaling make somatostatin be such an extraordinary neurotransmitter and hormone. The potent inhibitory action of SSTR on cellular processes such as secretion, proliferation, and apoptosis is the reason for somatostatin to be the target for therapy development. Radiopharmaceuticals used for therapy consist of three parts: somatostatin analog, chelator, and radionuclide (alpha or beta-emitting). Combinations of different peptides, chelators, and radionuclides have been tested in vitro and/or in vivo for their use in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). These compounds are able to irradiate tumors and their metastases via the internalization through a specific receptor subtype which is generally overexpressed on the cell membrane.

Abstract

Brown tumor is a non-neoplastic lesion that resulting from abnormal bone metabolism. It can be manifest in prolonged or untreated hyperparathyroidism. The clinical symptoms, radiological and histopathological examination were similar with giant cell tumor and can be mimicking metastases; or even misdiagnosed with giant cell tumor and mistreated the patient. Biochemical examination of calcium levels and parathyroid hormone should be included in the routine assessment of patients with multiple osteolytic lesions. A multidiscipline approach is needed.Throughout this case report, we would like to report the important role of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Theranostic imaging modality in 38-year-old male with multiple osteolytic lesions, which was first diagnosed as giant cell tumor and differential diagnosis bone metastases but turnout to be a metabolic bone disease (brown tumor) with parathyroid adenoma as etiology.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the leading cause of hypercalcemia, usually caused by a parathyroid adenoma and potentially leading to metabolic bone disorders. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare skeletal disorder that can coexist with hyperparathyroidism, although it is rarely found without McCune-Albright syndrome. CASE: A 31-year-old woman with a history of hemodialysis presented with progressive swelling of the upper and lower jaw over the past two years, accompanied by bone pain and fatigue. Laboratory tests revealed elevated parathyroid hormone levels, serum creatinine, and hypocalcemia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck identified an isointense lesion in the left thyroid gland but failed to localize the parathyroid adenoma. 99mTc-Sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy showed multiple adenomas in the lower poles of both thyroid lobes. 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy demonstrated a metabolic superscan pattern, leading to a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. The patient underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which was histopathologically confirmed as bilateral inferior parathyroid adenomas. Postoperatively, the patient experienced significant symptom improvement, including reduced bone pain and improved quality of life. CONCLUSION: The coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism and fibrous dysplasia without McCune-Albright syndrome is rare but important to recognize. Parathyroid and bone scintigraphy play a crucial role in diagnosis, assessing bone involvement, and planning appropriate therapy. A multimodal imaging approach enables early detection and more effective surgical strategies, improving clinical outcomes for patients.
