Recurrent Urinary Bladder Paraganglioma Detected on 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT

摘要

Urinary bladder paraganglioma constitute only a small fraction of urinary bladder tumors. These rare tumors are well known for recurrences even after many years of surgery. Functional imaging with different radiotracers has been found to be useful to evaluate the extent, metastasis, and recurrence of paragangliomas. We report a case where Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT successfully detected recurrence of a paraganglioma in the urinary bladder along with pelvic lymph nodal metastasis.
