A 37-year-old man has palpable bilateral carotid body paragangliomas, larger on the right. The right-sided tumor is avid on both 123 I-MIBG and 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT images. The left-sided tumor is only avid on 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, but not 123 I-MIBG scan. This case illustrates the heterogeneous features of carotid body paragangliomas.
一位 37 岁男性可触及双侧颈动脉体副神经节瘤,右侧较大。右侧肿瘤在 123I-MIBG 和 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT 图像上均摄取活跃。左侧肿瘤仅在 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT 上摄取活跃,而不在 123I-MIBG 扫描上摄取活跃。本例说明了颈动脉体副神经节瘤的异质性特征。
