Abstract

A 58-year-old man underwent DOTATATE PET/CT scan for follow-up of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor after resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. On screening paperwork, the patient indicated having received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (Janssen Biotech, Inc) 1 day previously, administered in the right deltoid muscle. Reactive changes in regional lymph nodes is a known response for all 3 currently Food and Drug Administration-approved COVID-19 vaccines. Recent published data have demonstrated FDG PET-avid axillary lymphadenopathy subsequent to COVID-19 vaccination, and included here is a report of DOTATATE PET-avid axillary lymph node after injection of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
