Abstract:
Intraoperative MIBG radionuclear scanning has been used to improve pathological foci localization and surgical accuracy in patients with neural crest derived tumors. This intraoperative detection has been reported in less than 10 patients during reoperation for pheochromocytoma. We report a case of 123I-MIBG intraoperative detection allowing to improve surgical resection quality during reoperation for pheochromocytoma. The use of intraoperative MIBG radionuclear scanning is helpful when reoperation for pheochromocytoma is performed.
