Summary: | ABSTRACTAn I metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) planar image showed abnormal uptake in the left adrenal gland and thyroid in a 24-year-old woman with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A. I MIBG showed abnormal uptake in the thyroid but not in the adrenal gland. Abdominal CT with 2-mm thin slices demonstrated a normal adrenal gland. Postoperative pathologic findings were consistent with medullary carcinoma in both thyroid lobes and a small 1-mm pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland. I MIBG could clearly show the small pheochromocytoma, which was negative in thin-slice CT and equivocal in I MIBG. |
