Multi-molecular imaging showing tumour heterogeneity and differing diagnostic performance in a case with metastatic pheochromocytoma
(2025) In EJNMMI reports 9(1).- Abstract
A patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A (MEN2A) and a suspicion of metastasized pheochromocytoma, underwent multi-molecular positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the recently presented radiopharmaceutical [18F]-metafluorobenzylguanidine (mFBG), [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC and [18F]F-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) as well as scintigraphy with [123I]-metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG). The methods showed different diagnostic performance, with the highest number of suspected malignant lesions detected by [18F]-mFBG-PET, and revealed insights into tumour heterogeneity.
