Introduction: The present study was aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the two imaging methods of 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) and 99mTc-hydrazinonicotinyl-Tyr3-Octreotide (99mTc-HYNIC-TOC) in diagnosis and localization of pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. Methods: This study ...
متن کاملSerum chromogranin-A assay in differential diagnosis of incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
Adrenal incidentalomas are defined as asymptomatic adrenal masses occasionally discovered during high-resolution imaging procedures such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR). Pheochromocytoma, a potentially lethal chromaffin tumour, must be excluded before any invasive diagnostic procedures to avoid massive catecholamines release. Chromogranin A (CgA) is a member of the granin...
متن کاملA case of (123)I-MIBG scintigram-negative functioning pheochromocytoma: immunohistochemical and molecular analysis with review of literature.
A 70-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital due to hyperhidrosis and rapid weight loss of 10 kg in a month. A lump measuring 26 mm in diameter was detected in the left adrenal gland by computed tomography. Biochemical tests showed high levels of serum and urinary norepinephrine and epinephrine. However, a (123)I-MIBG scintigram failed to detect any accumulation in the left adrenal...
متن کاملLow-dose (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine diagnostic scan is inferior to (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine posttreatment scan in detection of malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
OBJECTIVE We assessed the lesion detectability of low-dose diagnostic (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) whole-body scans obtained at 6 and 24 h compared with posttreatment (131)I-MIBG whole-body scans in malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. METHODS Scintigrams obtained in 15 patients with malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma were retrospectively analyzed. Diagnostic scans...
متن کاملUtility of 123I-MIBG Standardized Uptake Value in Patients with Refractory Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Objective(s): Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is an important diagnostic tool for the treatment of refractory pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Owing to the difficulty of SPECT quantification, the tumour-to-background ratio (TBR) is used to assess disease activity. However, the utility of TBR is limited o...
