    Intrapericardial pheochromocytoma is rare. Iodine 131-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy offers a safe and specific method for tumor localization, outperforming computed tomography.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Intrapericardial pheochromocytoma is an extremely rare diagnosis.
    • Surgical resection is the primary treatment modality.

    Observation:

    • A case of intrapericardial pheochromocytoma is presented.
    • The tumor was significantly adhered to the posterior atrial walls.
    • Marked vascularity complicated hemostasis during surgery.

    Findings:

    • Iodine 131-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-mIBG) scintigraphy demonstrated superior tumor localization compared to computed tomography (CT).
    • 131I-mIBG is a safe, specific, and noninvasive diagnostic tool.
    • Alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents were used for preoperative preparation.

    Implications:

    • 131I-mIBG scintigraphy may become the preferred method for pheochromocytoma localization.
    • Complex surgical cases require careful preoperative planning and management.
    • Further research into rare tumor presentations and advanced imaging is warranted.
