Abstract
High somatostatin receptor expression on the cell membrane of succinate dehydrogenase mutation-related pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) provides a potential target for imaging and therapy. 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission PET/CT may represent a new gold standard for staging PCC/PGL and have future therapeutic implications.Keywords
