Abstract
Cardiac pheochromocytoma is a rare tumour and may be difficult to localize. We present a 32-year-old male with a cardiac pheochromocytoma that was successfully resected. An initial unenhanced CT did not reveal the tumour. MIBG-scintigraphy indicated the location, but to get full information, a dynamic contrast-enhanced CT of the chest during adequate alpha and beta blockade was essential. ECG-gated MRI gave further information about the anatomical details.
