Zona fasciculata cortical adenoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia in MEN II patient: unique concurrent presentation

Clin Nucl Med. 1988 Oct;13(10):730-3. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198810000-00010.

Abstract

I-131 MIBG for the localization of pheochromocytoma is a highly specific agent. In this case report, an apparent false-positive finding attributed to the presence of three zona fasciculata cortical adenomata was ultimately deduced to be due to the presence of adrenal medullary hyperplasia in this MEN patient.
