Abstract

Occurrence of multiple Paragangliomas (PGL) is relatively rare. Very few case reports have described the role of 18F‑fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‑computed tomography (FDG PET‑CT) in the diagnosis and staging of PGL. Here, we report the case of a 48‑year‑old man with multiple PGL who presented with atypical symptoms. In this case, 18F-FDG PET‑CT proved to be a beneficial imaging modality in arriving at the diagnosis of this patient with nonspecific clinical presentation and also in the detection of the multiple sites involved.
