[Nuclear medicine diagnosis and therapy of distant metastases of pheochromocytoma].
Three foci, suspected of being metastases, were discovered by sonography and computed tomography in a patient twelve years after resection of a phaeochromocytoma and six years after resection of liver metastases. The findings were confirmed by scintigraphy with 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and treated with 3700 MBq of MIBG, to be repeated in the near future.
