Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations of the genes encoding succinate dehydrogenase B and D (SDHB, SDHD) are associated with highly penetrant phenotypes, including paragangliomas and phaeochromocytomas. Patients with these mutations require lifelong surveillance; however, there is currently ambiguity regarding the optimal screening regimen. We sought to determine the utility of fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) positron emission...
