Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Aug;43(8):591-592. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002157.

Abstract

Sellar and suprasellar paragangliomas are rare. We report the case of a 19-year-old man with sellar paraganglioma with parasellar and posterior pontine extension, requiring multiple transcranial surgeries and radiotherapy. The lesion was avid on Ga DOTANOC PET-CT scan substantiating its neuroendocrine nature.
