Topographic diagnosis of adrenal pheochromocytoma were determined by ultrasonography in all 6 cases studied and by radiocholesterol scintigraphy in 6 out of 7 cases studied. It would appear that ultrasonography is preferable in the localization of an abdominal pheochromocytoma, whether adrenal or extra-adrenal. Intravenous urography along with rapid sequence nephrotomography and radiocholesterol scintigraphy, play a complementary role in confirming the topographic diagnosis. In case these methods prove unsuccessful or provide conflicting results, it is then possible to consider computed tomography, angiography and caval catheterization.
在研究的所有6例肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤中，均通过超声检查进行了定位诊断，在7例研究病例中的6例通过放射性胆固醇闪烁扫描法进行了定位诊断。似乎超声检查在腹部嗜铬细胞瘤（无论是肾上腺还是肾上腺外的）定位方面更具优势。静脉尿路造影以及快速序列肾断层摄影和放射性胆固醇闪烁扫描法在确定定位诊断中起辅助作用。如果这些方法证明不成功或提供相互矛盾的结果，那么可以考虑计算机断层扫描、血管造影和腔静脉插管检查。
