Malignant pheochromocytoma of the anterior mediastinum: PET findings with [18F]FDG and 82Rb.
A case of a malignant pheochromocytoma arising from the anterior mediastinum is presented. We report the use of positron emission tomography with 82Rb and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose to successfully image this neoplasm.
