The management of neuroendocrine tumours is challenging when curative surgery is ruled out because of distant metastases. We report a case of gastrointestinal carcinoid with bilateral ovarian metastases in a 50-year-old female who received octreotide therapy followed by peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and surgery thereafter. Somatostatin receptor expression on neuroendocrine tumours has implications in diagnosis and therapy. (68)Ga-DOTA-NOC PET is a recent advancement in the field of somatostatin receptor imaging. The lesions which demonstrate tracer uptake on positron emission tomographic studies can be further planned for treatment with octreotide and (177)Lu-DOTA-TATE. The case in discussion responded well to non-invasive treatment options before proceeding to definitive surgical management.
