We report here a 75-yo woman with an interaortocaval PGL that was diagnosed after hypertensive crisis occurring during the resection of a kidney tumor. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT disclosed pathologic uptake in the abdomen and at the iliac crest. After the resection of the abdominal tumor, with the histological confirmation of PGL, arterial blood pressure and metanephrine levels normalized. Genetic testing was negative. Thereafter, the bone lesion increased in size and became painful, requiring multiple medications. A selective biopsy disclosed a metastatic lesion arising from the renal tumor. The false positive result of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT is discussed. The use of herbal therapies for treatment and management of diabetes mellitus and complications associated with this chronic condition is increasing. Plants contain a bounty of phytochemicals that have been proven to be protective by reducing the risk of various ailments and diseases, including alkaloids. Moreover, alkaloids are known to be among the oldest natural products used by humans for highlighting drugs that play crucial roles as therapeutic agents. The reason for this expanding interest and uses of alkaloids as a part of plant natural compounds-based treatments is that a significant proportion of diabetic patients do not respond very well to conventional therapeutic medication. Furthermore, other explanations to this fact are the cost of medication, side-effects, accessibility, and availability of health facilities and drugs and the inefficiency of these medicines in certain cases. In this study we aimed to review the literature on the valuable effects of herbs and plants and their isolated alkals. The common antihypertensive angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril was reported to possess
