Abstract

A 22-year-old female with SDHB-positive who presented with palpitation and hypertension after adrenalectomy was performed ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT to detect the primary ectopic pheochromocytoma (PCC) and rule out metastasis. PET/CT is useful for detecting and localizing the primary ectopic PCC.

Keywords: 18F-FDG; Cardiac paraganglioma; PET/CT.
