Abstract

Two cases of sympathetic paraganglioma are reported: one, benign, in a 20-years old woman with arterial hypertension and attacks of excessive sweating; the other, malignant and with bone metastases, in a 44-years old woman. Both were diagnosed by scintigraphy, using meta-iodobenzylguanidine as radionuclide. This new radiopharmaceutic agent has recently been introduced for the detection of phaeochromocytomas, but it seems to be a general tissue marker of catecholamine uptake and storage. Its use as a therapeutic compound may also be envisaged.
