Abstract
This case report describes the treatment of the bone metastases of a nonfunctioning sympathetic paraganglioma, with [131I]MIBG. After primary tumor excision and unsuccessful external radiotherapy, the patient received three therapeutic doses of [131I]MIBG, resulting in a reduction of the number and volume of metastases, and an improvement of the general condition. At 3 yr following [131I]MIBG therapy, the patient remained in remission. [131I]MIBG appears to be an efficient and safe agent for treating malignant sympathetic paraganglioma.Entities:
