title: Remarkable improvement of myocardial metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake after surgery in a patient with pheochromocytoma-a case report.
abstract: A patient with pheochromocytoma showed remarkable improvement of myocardial metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake within a short time after surgical resection of the tumor. Myocardial MIBG findings in this case may contribute to an interpretation of the kinetics of MIBG in the human heart.
