Pulmonary Uptake of Technetium·99m·Labeled Sulfur Colloid Caused by Sustained-Release Niacin Therapy: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this report, we describe a potential drug interaction between niacin and the hepatic radiopharmaceutical technetium-99mlabeled sulfur colloid ~9mTc-SC). A patient was admitted with a diagnosis of acute hepatitis caused by her sustained-release niacin therapy. Diffuse lung accumulation of mTc-SC was seen on her liver/spleen images. This is the first report of pulmonary localization of 9mTc-SC, which is believed to be induced by the sustained-release niacin therapy for hyperlipidemia.

Extramedullary Pulmonary Hematopoiesis Causing Pulmonary Hypertension and Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Detected by Technetium-99m Sulfur Colloid Bone Marrow Scan and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/CT
Extramedullary pulmonary hematopoiesis is a rare entity with a limited number of case reports in the available literature only. We report the case of a 66-year-old man with known primary myelofibrosis, in whom a Technetium-99m sulfur colloid bone marrow scan with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT revealed a pulmonary hematopoiesis as the cause of pulmonary hypertension and s...

99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy, performed during the following up a 58-year old man with neuroendocrine tumor demonstrated massive hepatomegaly demonstrating multiple areas of increased and decreased uptake. Due to severe hepatomegaly concurrence of any other abdominal soft tissue lesions could not be excluded. A 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan was done and thoroughly compared wi...
متن کاملHepatic and splenic uptake of Tc-99m HDP in multiple myeloma: additional findings on Tc-99m MIBI and Tc-99m sulfur colloid images.
The authors present a case of multiple myeloma with intense hepatic and splenic uptake on Tc-99m HDP bone scan and discuss its clinical implications and possible uptake mechanisms. Tc-99m MIBI and Tc-99m sulfur colloid were used to demonstrate bone marrow involvement and focal lesions of multiple myeloma.
متن کاملUse of Marrow Scintigraphy to Confirm Compensatory Marrow Rather than Active Myeloma
We present the case of a 40-year-old male with multiple myeloma for whom bone marrow scintigraphy was utilized to help differentiate between active bony myelomatous disease versus treated lesions with compensatory marrow uptake. This case demonstrates technetium (Tc-99m) sulfur colloid imaging as an inexpensive technique to quickly distinguish between active focal bone disease and reactive marrow.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor with an intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is very rare in the lung parenchyma, and most of the previously reported cases have been asymptomatic. There is no standard therapy for this tumor and prognosis in the previous reports has been variable.Herein we report our experience with a 60-year-old woman presenting with hemoptysis and ...
