Meta-iodobenzylguanidine in metastatic phaeochromocytoma
Clinical Endocrinology
|November 1, 1984
Abstract:
A case of metastatic phaeochromocytoma is presented. Meta-iodobenzylguanidine was used to locate the tumour but failed to show two functioning abdominal metastatic deposits. Although meta-iodobenzylguanidine appears to be highly specific for phaeochromocytoma, a negative scan does not exclude a functioning tumour with confidence.
