In our pediatric PPGL cohort, overall lesion-wise sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was higher than that of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy. Hence, we recommend 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT as the preferred modality in pediatric PPGL. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT may evolve as a preferred imaging modality for disease surveillance in VHL.
