ABSTRACT Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. It is associated with a spectrum of benign and malignant tumors, including pancreatic and adrenal neuroendocrine tumors, renal cell carcinoma, and hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and retina. 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT has shown somatostatin receptor expression in inflammatory conditions. In the present case, we report that 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT demonstrates the tracer avidity in the bilateral swollen eyelids in a patient with clinical suspicion of Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, which was confirmed as viral conjunctivitis on clinical examination.
