Abstract: Abstract: We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with lymphoepithelial carcinoma of left parotid gland. She was treated with radical radiotherapy, but her plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA load continued to increase despite good locoregional response. As her primary tumor was positive for somatostatin receptor type 2, we performed 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, which revealed multiple DOTATATE-avid distant metastases.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: none declared. This study received funding from National Cancer Centre Singapore Research Fund.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)
