case_images: An abdominal CT scan showed an additional left para-aortic tumor with enhanced density ( Figure 1 ). The 131I-mataiodobenzyl-guanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy results showed two radio-uptake enhancing regions in the left abdomen and pelvis after 48 and 72 h ( Figure 1E ).

case_images: Figure 2A ); and the other nodular tumor showed a similar morphology ( Figure 2B ). Further immunochemistry results reported Syn (+), CgA (+), S-100 (+), GATA3 (+), PCK (-), HMB45 (-), and MART-1 (-), and the Ki-67 positive index was 1% ( Figures 2C-F ). Combined with the morphological features, the tumors were considered as PGLs.
