Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors with highly variable clinical presentation. Functional imaging is used to confirm suspicious lesions found via CT or MRI after biochemical evidence of a pheochromocytoma [1]. Functional imaging techniques used for neuroendocrine tumors are [123I] mIBG SPECT,[68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TOC/-NOC/-TATE PET/CT, or [18F] FDOPA PET/CT [1–4]. Relatively new is the use of [18F] mFBG PET/CT. Recently, Wang and colleagues showed the advantages of [18F] mFBG PET/CT over [68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT in a series of 28 patients with metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas [5]. Here, we present a 27-year-old woman with biochemical evidence of recurrence of disease after bilateral total adrenalectomy due to bilateral pheochromocytoma as a result of a MAX gene mutation. A MRI and [68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT were performed. The MRI showed two suspicious lesions in the left adrenalectomy/nefrectomy cavity, of which one was adjacent to the spleen (Figure C, 1) and one paravertebral.[68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT was unable to prove that the first was a pheochromocytoma localization, as the spleen always shows high [68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TOC uptake (Figure A). As the findings on MRI had implications for surgery planning, the patient underwent a [18F] mFBG PET/CT for confirmation. A whole-body PET/CT was acquired 60 min after injection of 146 MBq [18F] mFBG (MIP, Figure B). PET/CT confirmed the MRI-positive lesions (Figure D and E, 1-2). Furthermore, three additional lesions were identified that were not visible on MRI nor the [68 Ga] Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT. One lesion was not separately identifiable from the spleen (Fig. 1D, 3), and two were near surgery clips (Figure F, 4). The patient was successfully treated via surgery.
