Aims: Neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms which express high quantity of somatostatin receptors. Gallium-68
 DOTATATE PET scan is used to detect these tumors. In this case presentation, it is aimed to show the role of
 Ga-68 DOTATATE PET scan in detecting neuroendocrine tumors.
 Case Report: Sixty-four-year-old female consulted Trakya University Hospital Department of Nuclear Medicine
 with a diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors in her various visceral organs. Galium-68 DOTATATE PET scan was
 used to detect the lesions and afterwards peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with Lutetium (Lu)-177 DOTATATE
 was given to the patient.
 Conclusion: Galium-68 DOTATATE PET scan plays a major role in detecting neuroendocrine tumors with
