Pheochromocytoma : Imaging finding.

Pheochromocytoma: An Imaging Kaleidoscope

Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine secreting tumors of adrenal gland with 10% of cases found in children. They have a varied clinico-imaging spectrum of appearances and they may mimic other adrenal lesions, both benign and malignant. On Computed tomography, they may also demonstrate rapid contrast material washout and be mistaken for an adenoma owing to their deenhancement profile; howeve...

Multi-modality imaging of pheochromocytoma

Pheochromocytoma, a rare neuroendocrine adrenal tumor, is often diagnosed by a combination of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features. While the imaging features of this entity are variable, the use of complementary modalities often helps to target the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease. We present a multi-modality evaluation of a pheochromocytoma, with CT, MR, MIBG, and pat...

Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: imaging characteristics

The accurate diagnosis of adult pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that includes clinical history, biochemical testing, and multimodality imaging such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine studies. This review illustrates the different imaging characteristics of primary adult pheochromocytomas as well as both sympathet...

Moving Beyond "Lumpology": PET/CT Imaging of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma.

High somatostatin receptor expression on the cell membrane of succinate dehydrogenase mutation-related pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma provides a potential target for imaging and therapy. (68)Ga-DOTATATE positron emission PET/CT may represent a new gold standard for staging pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and have future therapeutic implications.
