Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Rubidium-82 (Rb-82) is commonly used for PET myocardial perfusion imaging. A 61-year-old male patient with coronary artery disease underwent cardiac Rb-82 PET myocardial perfusion and FDG PET myocardial viability scan. Besides myocardium, prominent Rb-82 uptake was identified in several pleural and osseous lesions. These were confirmed to be metastases from pheochromocytoma on the FDG PET and noncontrast CT scan. Chart review revealed that the patient had history of pheochromocytoma for more than 40 years, with widespread metastases as demonstrated by various imaging findings. The latest biopsy from an extradural spinal mass also demonstrated metastatic pheochromocytoma. |
