18F-FDG PET/CT in a Patient With Malignant Pheochromocytoma Recurrence and Bone Metastasis After Operation—Case Report and Review of the Literature

Introduction: Bone metastasis of malignant pheochromocytoma is a rare disease. We report a patient with a 10-year history who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT to detect bone metastasis and receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy with complete response for bilateral iliac pain.Case presentation: A 48-year-old...
