1-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (1-123 MIBG) scintigraphy is known for its high specificity in detecting pheochromocytoma and other tumors of neural crest origin. In this rare case report, we describe a definite adrenocortical adenoma that demonstrated false-positive uptake at 1-123 MIBG scintigraphy and a remarkable accumulation of 75-SE-6-beta-selenomethyl-norcholesterol.

Abstract
1-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (1-123 MIBG) scintigraphy is known for its high specificity in detecting pheochromocytoma and other tumors of neural crest origin. In this rare case report, we describe a definite adrenocortical adenoma that demonstrated false-positive uptake at 1-123 MIBG scintigraphy and a remarkable accumulation of 75-SE-6-beta-selenomethyl-norcholesterol.
