Abstract

Paraganglioma is a tumor of the endocrine system with a significant hereditary characteristic that affects younger people, causing headaches, palpitations, and diaphoresis. This tumor may be present in the head and neck region as a carotid body tumor and has a low incidence of metastasis. Although several tests can be used, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy is useful for diagnosing and assessing paraganglioma. Online databases, such as Scielo, Oxford Academic, PubMed, and The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, were used to compare the relationship between scintigraphy and paraganglioma. Data were analyzed based on the germline classifications of the paraganglioma and the Shamblin classification for prognosis and surgical risk. The imaging exam and the new drugs used in the exams increased the life expectancy and quality of life of affected patients. Also, these approaches have been a major advance in nuclear medicine.
