Abstract
Pheochromocytomas (PHEOs) and paragangliomas (PGLs) may be better detected by (18)F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine-positron emission tomography (FDOPA-PET) than (123)I-metaiodobenzyl-guanidine (123-I-MIBG) scintigraphy.The objective of the study was to correlate functional imaging results with immunohistochemical, molecular-genetic, and biochemical findings.Thirty consecutive patients with suspected PHEO/PGL presenting at a tertiary referral...
