I-MIBG Scintigraphy in the Localization of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

MIBG negative pheochromocytoma.

We present a case of a left sided pheochromocytoma, who had normal levels of 24 urinary vanilylmandelic acid and a normal MIBG scan. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology of the adrenal gland.

MIBG molecular imaging for evaluating response to chemotherapy in patients with malignant pheochromocytoma: preliminary results

Malignant pheochromocytomas respond to chemotherapy with a reduction in tumor size and catecholamine secretion. We investigated the usefulness of molecular imaging with meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) for evaluating the effects of chemotherapy in patients with malignant pheochromocytoma. Six patients were studied before and after 6 ± 4 months of combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, v...

Utility of follow-up of 131I-MIBG scintigraphy to screen pheochromocytoma.

In December 2001, a 49-year-old man presented for evaluation of a gallstone. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) incidentally revealed a heteroge-nous mass measuring 36 mm in diameter in the left adrenal lesion, which was suspected of being pheochromocytoma (Picture 1A, arrow). Serum adrenaline, noradrenaline,
