Pheochromocytoma: Positive on (131)I-MIBG Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography-Computed Tomography and Negative on (68)Ga DOTANOC Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography

Pheochromocytomas are tumors arising from sympathetic lineage-derived cells in adrenal medulla, and (68)Ga DOTANOC positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been found to be superior than (131)I MIBG single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) for in...

Descripción
Sumario:Pheochromocytomas are tumors arising from sympathetic lineage-derived cells in adrenal medulla, and (68)Ga DOTANOC positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been found to be superior than (131)I MIBG single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) for initial localization/diagnosis of the adrenal lesion. We discuss the (68)DOTANOC PET-CT and (131)I MIBG SPECT-CT findings of a 24-year-old male who presented with clinical and biochemical findings suspicious of pheochromocytoma.
