Maximum intensity projection and transaxial GaDOTANOC (a–d) and F-DOPA (e–h) PET/CT images in a patient with SDHD mutation-related paragangliomas (PGL) and otherwise unexplained and uncontrolled hypertension are shown. Three PGL in the head and neck (HN) region (two at the right and one at the left carotid artery bifurcation) and two paratracheal PGL (b, c) are better appreciated on Ga-DOTANOC PET (left paratracheal Ga-DOTANOC SUVmax 9.9, F-DOPA SUVmax 2.7). An abdominal PGL (h) is better appreciated on F-DOPA PET (GaDOTANOC SUVmax 5.9, F-DOPA SUVmax 20.0).
