Abstract
Pulmonary metastases from malignant pheochromocytoma were seen with I- 123 MIBG SPECT in a 16-year-old girl but were not visualized with I-12 3 MIBG planar imaging. She had a left adrenalectomy for a pheochromocy toma 7 years earlier, Two small pulmonary nodules were seen on chest X -ray and CT scans.
