The present investigation showed good uptake of 67Ga in most cases of bronchial carcinoma, but some uptake of 67Ga was also found in 30% of those with non-malignant lung lesions. There was no relationship between the uptake of 17Ga and the histo-logical type of bronchial carcinoma...

متن کامل[Usefulness of gallium-67 scintigraphy in diagnosing pyothorax-associated lymphoma].
Two cases of pyothorax-associated malignant lymphoma were reported. The presence of chronic tuberculous pyothorax after thoracoplasty and the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the chest wall are closely related. Both patients had suffered from tuberculous pyothorax for more than thirty years, and developed new painful chest wall tumors. CT and MRI delineated both malignant lymphoma and p...
