Figure 1From: Somatostatin receptor expression in Merkel cell carcinoma as target for molecular imaging Primary MCC and lymph node metastasis visualized by SSTR-PET. A female patient (no. 15) presented with a primary MCC on her left cheek (A), which was visualized by both SSTR-PET (B) and CT (C). Additionally, SSTR-PET revealed increased tracer uptake (D) in a non-enlarged lymph node (E). After resection, a 7 x 5 mm lymph node metastasis was histologically confirmed.Back to article page
