Variable MIBG Activity in the Same Renal Cyst

Clin Nucl Med. 2017 Nov;42(11):887-889. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001792.

Abstract

A series of I-MIBG scanning was performed in a 33-year-old woman with a history of ganglioneuroblastoma and a known left renal cyst. The initial studies did not reveal any MIBG activity in the renal cyst. However, increased MIBG activity was noted in the same renal cyst in the subsequent follow-up scans.
