title: Pheochromocytoma in the organ of Zukerkandl: I-131 MIBG scintigraphic localization.
abstract: Scintigraphic localization of an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma in a 27 year-old female with clinical and biochemical evidence of the disease is presented. While both ultrasonography and computed tomography were negative, I-131 MIBG scintigraphy successfully localized the extra-adrenal lesion in the organ of Zukerkandl.
