68Ga-DOTATATE Uptake in Rare Metastatic/Inoperable Mediastinal Paraganglioma with Anomalous Coronary Supply
Mediastinal paragangliomas (PGLs) are extremely rare neuroendocrine tumors. Clinical presentation varies and tumor resection can be challenging due to bleeding and risk of catecholamine surges in functional tumors. We report on a case 68 with a DOTATATE avid mediastinal mass which was histopathologically confirmed as a PGL that was fed by the coronary artery in whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging using gallium-68-DOTATATE.
