RÉSUMÉ
An eleven year old boy presented with headaches and dizziness associated to micturition. On radiologic imaging, he was found with a bladder mass. The biochemical work up was suggestive of pheochromocytoma. An OctreoScan (111In-pentreotide) was used to rule out metastatic extension or other extra-adrenal locations of the pheochromocytoma. OctreoScan data correlated well with other radiologic studies, operative findings and with the final diagnosis, validating its use on pediatric patients.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 29 años con sospecha clínica de feocromocitoma previamente diagnosticado de una Neoplasia Endocrina Múltiple (MEN) tipo 2b. Se realizó una gammagrafía con 123I-metaiodobelcilguanidina (MIBG) que mostró captación patológica en ambas suprarrenales, sugestiva de feocromocitoma bilateral. El estudio de resonancia magnética (RMN) determinó la localización anatómica. El paciente fue sometido a suprarrenalectomía bilateral confirmándose el diagnóstico de feocromocitoma bilateral en anatomía patológica.
We report a case of 29 years old man who was referred with the clinical symptoms of pheochromocytoma in a Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) type 2b. 123I- metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan revelead pathologic adrenal bilateral uptake described in bilateral pheochromocytoma. Anatomical localization was achieved by Magnetic Resonance (MRI). The patient was submitted to surgery for bilateral adrenal removal. Surgical pathology confirmed the diagnostic of pheochromocytoma in both adrenal glands.
