A case of metastatic phaeochromocytoma is presented. Meta-iodobenzylguanidine was used to locate the tumour but failed to show two functioning abdominal metastatic deposits. Although meta-iodobenzylguanidine appears to be highly specific for phaeochromocytoma, a negative scan does not exclude a functioning tumour with confidence.
