Abstract Patient was a 55-year-old man with history of pancreas neuroendocrine tumor grade 2, Ki-67 index 10%. He was treated with surgical resection. 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT was performed as part of follow-up of known disease. The images showed opacities in both lungs’ parenchyma with moderate uptake of radiotracer and mediastinal lymph nodes with high uptake suggestive of infection. Two weeks before a high-resolution CT was performed, these findings in the lungs were not present. The patient was asymptomatic and was referred to the emergency department for reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction COVID-19 test, and the result was positive.
