Abstract

A 37-year-old man has palpable bilateral carotid body paragangliomas, larger on the right. The right-sided tumor is avid on both 123 I-MIBG and 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT images. The left-sided tumor is only avid on 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, but not 123 I-MIBG scan. This case illustrates the heterogeneous features of carotid body paragangliomas.
