Both computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck showed bilateral carotid body tumors about 3 cm in size each, partially encasing both external carotid arteries (Figures 1 and 2).
(a) Coronal T2-weighted and (b) axial T1-weighted MR sequences demonstrate mass lesions at the level of the carotid bifurcations (black arrows). There are numerous flow voids in the lesions reflecting the vascular nature of these tumors.. MR: magnetic resonance.

CT-abdomen showed three separate left adrenal masses and two right adrenal masses, measuring between 1.5 and 3.9 cm (Figure 3).
I-123 MIBG imaging demonstrates radiotracer uptake in the bilateral adrenal glands consistent with pheochromocytomas (black arrows).. MIBG: meta-iodobenzylguanidine.
