Chordoid meningiomas, rare meningioma variants, are characterized by their histopathological features and clinical behavior resembling that of other chondroid/myxoid neoplasms. We present a case of pathology-proven chordoid meningioma imaged with both 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 18 F-FDG PET images during a complicated postoperative course with multiple episodes of local recurrence and, ultimately, extracranial metastasis. This case underscores the aggressive behavior of chordoid meningiomas while highlighting how molecular imaging plays an important role in clinical monitoring and guidance of management.

Patients of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) experience increased risk of developing second primary cancer (SPC) necessitating active surveillance during their disease course. SPCs are associated with poor prognosis and are the leading cause of long-term morbidity and mortality impacting survival of patients with HNSCC. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SmNEC) is a rare but aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis and high risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- - A 75-year-old man, who previously had his left kidney removed due to kidney cancer, underwent a specialized PET/CT scan to check a pancreatic mass and found it highly active.
- - The patient opted out of surgery, but as the mass grew, he had a different PET/CT scan that showed a less intense activity in the same area.
- - A tissue examination revealed that the pancreatic mass was actually a metastasis from his earlier kidney cancer.
Metastatic Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of Unknown Origin Showing 68 Ga-DOTATATE Uptake.

Article Synopsis
- 18 F-FDG PET/CT is commonly used for diagnosing adenocarcinoma, but its effectiveness is inconsistent for mucinous adenocarcinoma.
- 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT might provide valuable insights for evaluating mucinous adenocarcinoma due to tumor blood flow and receptor expression.
- The text discusses a rare case where a patient with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma showed 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake, highlighting a potential new approach in imaging.
