Meningioma

A rare, mostly benign, primary tumor of the meninges (arachnoid cap cells), usually located in the supratentorial compartment, commonly appearing in the sixth and seventh decade of life, clinically silent in most cases or causing hyperostosis close to the tumor and resulting in focal bulging and localized pain in less than 10% of cases. Additional features may include headache, seizures, gradual personality changes (apathy and dementia), anosmia, impaired vision, exophthalmos, hearing loss, ataxia, dysmetria, hypotonia, nystagmus, and rarely spontaneous bleeding.

Pheochromocytoma

Pheochromocytomas (also known as chromaffin tumors) produce, store, and secrete catecholamines. Pheochromocytomas usually originate from the adrenal medulla but may also develop from chromaffin cells in or about sympathetic ganglia. A common symptom of pheochromocytoma is hypertension owing to release of catecholamines.

	68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in an Atypical Extraskeletal Paravertebral Hemangioma Mimicking as Neurogenic Tumor in a Known Case of Breast Cancer.
	Vadi SK, Mittal BR, Parihar AS, Kumar R, Singh H, Singh G. Clin Nucl Med. 2019;44(5):e364-e366.
	Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT is well documented in evaluation of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and in other lesions with somatostatin receptor expression such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, neuroblastoma, meningioma, and mesenchymal tumors causing oncogenic osteomalacia.

	A Patient with an Extra-adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Germ-line SDHB Mutation Accompanied by an Atypical Meningioma.
	Shiwa T, Oki K, Yoneda M, Arihiro K, Ohno H, Kishimoto R, Kohno N. Intern Med. 2015;54(18):2355-60.
	Therefore, a differential diagnosis for metastatic pheochromocytoma and other new onset tumors, including meningioma, particularly in patients with germ-line SDHB mutations and a previous history of pheochromocytoma should be carefully made.

	Our findings suggest that SDHB plays an important role in the pathogenesis of meningiomas as well as pheochromocytomas.

	Three-decade investigation of familial pheochromocytoma. An allele of von Hippel-Lindau disease?
	Tisherman SE, Tisherman BG, Tisherman SA, Dunmire S, Levey GS, Mulvihill JJ. Arch Intern Med. 1993;153(22):2550-6.
	In follow-up, eight additional relatives were newly diagnosed with pheochromocytomas (at an average age of 19 years), and others had additional or recurrent pheochromocytomas, meningioma, para-adrenal paraganglioma, and a functioning glomus vagale; none died.
