title: 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT in a rare coexistence of pituitary macroadenoma and multiple paragangliomas.
abstract: The coexistence of a pituitary neoplasm and pheochromocytoma is a rare condition, which may be another undefined variant of Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome. Moreover, the coexistence of pituitary macroadenoma and multiple paragangliomas is more uncommon and only few authors have reported these findings. We are reporting the use of Ga DOTATATE PET/CT in a rare case of coexisting pituitary macroadenoma and multiple paragangliomas.
