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

چکیده
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.

Imaging of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: moving beyond “lumpology” with SSTR, FDG and MIBG molecular imaging
Learning objectives Cancer staging traditionally uses CT or MRI for detecting suspected malignant lesions with characterisation performed by histopathology following biopsy. In this “lumpology” paradigm, the number, size and location of lesions are used to determine prognosis and guide treatment strategies. To provide an educational exhibit to highlight the utility of molecular imaging to diagn...

Purpose: Patients with succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutation–related pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PHEO/PGL) are at a higher risk for metastatic disease than other hereditary PHEOs/PGLs. Current therapeutic approaches are limited, but the best outcomes are based on the early and proper detection of as many lesions as possible. Because PHEOs/PGLs overexpress somatostatin receptor 2...

متن کاملPre-operative ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC somatostatin receptor PET/CT imaging demonstrating multiple synchronous lesions in a patient with head and neck paraganglioma.
Paragangliomas, or glomus tumors, are neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue. They frequently cause symptoms by over-production of catecholamines with known predilection to multicentricity. We describe the case of a patient with bilateral carotid body tumor who underwent a preoperative ⁶⁸Gallium labeled [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-1-NaI3-Octreotide...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are recognized approaches for locating paragangliomas. Recently, gallium-68 DOTA-octreotate (DOTATATE) scans have shown promise detecting neuroendocrine tumors missed by FDG-PET and MRI. 13-year-old male with SDH-B mutation presented with symptoms of paraganglioma and elevated catecholamines. MR...
