Background: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal gland that can cause life-threatening complications due to overproduction of catecholamines. Per EANM/SNMMI 2019 guidelines for radionuclide imaging of PHEO and paraganglioma, 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) is recommended as a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer of choice followed by 68Ga-DOTA(0)-Tyr(3)-octreot...
