Abstract |
Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine producing tumors of
neuroectodermal origin. Diagnosis of pheochromocytoma
is significant due to potentially curable hypertension.
But they have a significant associated morbidity due to
uncontrolled hypertension and mortality since 10% are
malignant. From Aug. 1989 to Jul. 1992, 12 patients of
our institution had 131I-MIBG scan during work up of
suspected primary or recurrent pheochromocytoma. In our
studies conclude that 131I-MIBG scan is recommended as
the initial localizing study of choice (especially for
the detection of extraadrenal disease and postoperative
recurrence) as a guide for CT and/or MR and specific
functional confirmation of their findings. |
