Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor of neural crest cells, the cells that give rise to the sympathetic nervous system, which is observed in children.

Paraganglioma

A carotid body tumor (also called paraganglionoma or chemodectoma) is a tumor found in the upper neck at the branching of the carotid artery. They arise from the chemoreceptor organ (paraganglion) located in the adventitia of the carotid artery bifurcation.

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.

Failure of MIBG scan to detect metastases in SDHB-mutated pediatric metastatic pheochromocytoma.
Sait S, Pandit-Taskar N, Modak S.
Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2017;64(11):.
123 I-meta-iodo benzyl guanidine (MIBG) scans are considered the gold standard imaging in neuroblastoma; however, flouro deoxy glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scans have increased sensitivity in adults with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
