Add to ORKGA carcinoid crisis is a severe complication of the carcinoid syndrome that can arise in patients with advanced metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. It can be initiated by stress, cate-cholamines, and tumor manipulation. In this article, we report a case in which an injection with the catecholamine tracer 6-18F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine, used for PET, induced a carci-noid crisis. Octreotide can be used for treatment and should be available. Tracer injection should be slow. Key Words: 18F-DOPA; carcinoid syndrome; carcinoid crisis; neuroendocrine tumor
