Gallbladder Paraganglioma Associated with SDHD Mutation: a Potential Pitfall on 18 F-FDOPA PET Imaging

We report an unusual location of PGL in the gallbladder associated withSDHD mutation which could present as a potential pitfall on18F-FDOPA PET/CT as its normal excretion occurs through biliary system and gallbladder. This case highlights the superiority of68Ga-DOTATATE in comparison to18F-FDOPA and18F-FDG in the detection ofSDHD-related parasympathetic PGL.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT00004847.
