Coronal maximal intensity projection (MIP) image from patient's Ga-68 DOTATATE PET magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrates abnormal foci of radiotracer uptake in the left neck in the left palatine tonsil medially and left cervical lymph node chain laterally (long white arrow). Subtle increased focus of radiotracer uptake also visualized in the right cervical lymph node chain (short white arrow). Physiologic radiotracer uptake is seen elsewhere in the body, with absence of the right kidney.

Another abnormal focus of uptake was also appreciated in the right neck with maximum SUV 3.1 (Figures 1 and 2).
Axial fused DOTATATE PET magnetic resonance imaging image demonstrates asymmetrically increased radiotracer uptake in the left palatine tonsil measuring up to 3.1 cm (short white arrow) and left cervical lymph node chain (long white arrow), with largest cervical lymph node measuring up to 2 cm in the short axis.
