Gallium-67 uptake in cystosarcoma phyllodes

Multifocal histogenesis of a cystosarcoma phyllodes.

An unusual multifocal cystosarcoma phyllodes is reported. It presented as a small, circumscribed tumour mass, which was associated with two diffuse neoplastic lesions which arose sequentially in two geographically separate parts of the mammary disc. Microscopically the tumour appeared to have been enlarging by the formation of isolated satellite tumour nodules within the adjacent normal breast ...

Incidence of gallium-67 citrate uptake in brown adipose tissue in neonates

*Author for correspondence:rajan. [email protected] Aims: Increased 18F-flurodeoxyglucose uptake within active brown adipose tissue (BAT) on an 18F-flurodeoxyglucose PET/CT study is a known pitfall that has been well described in the literature. We have noted a similar phenomenon occurring in gallium-67 studies performed on neonates, which introduces an undesirable element of complexity when ev...

Gallium-67 scintigraphy in polymyalgia rheumatica.

A patient with atypical presentation of polymyalgia rheumatica is presented. Her major symptoms were mild weakness, pain on passive movement of the shoulder and hip girdles, with mild tenderness but no joint stiffness. Muscle enzymes were within the normal range. The diagnostic work-up included gallium-67 scintigraphy, which showed intense uptake in both shoulders, with remarkable improvement f...

Gallium-67 scintigraphy in macrophagic myofasciitis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate gallium-67 (67Ga) uptake and the value of 67Ga scintigraphy for diagnosis of macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF), a recently identified inflammatory myopathy. METHODS Twelve consecutive patients with MMF confirmed by muscle biopsy, 10 with polymyositis, 10 with sarcoidosis, 8 with fibromyalgia, and 10 with lymphoma without muscle symptoms (serving as normal controls for muscl...
