چکیده
We report a case of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) with gastric involvement visualized by 111In-chloride scintigraphy. A 55-year-old male patient presented with upper abdominal pain and appetite loss. His barium gastric series showed multiple ulcerating polypoid tumors due to gastric involvement of ATL. These lesions accumulated 111In-chloride and were also avid for 67Ga-citrate. Although the mechanism of 111In-chloride accumulation is unknown, 111In-chloride scintigraphy may be useful in evaluating patients with ATL.

Direct labeling of macroaggregated albumin with indium-111-chloride using acetate buffer.
UNLABELLED Indium-111-labeled macroaggregated albumin (MAA) would be suitable for combined pulmonary perfusion and ventilation scan using a 99mTc ventilation agent. METHODS MAA suspended in 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.8, was incubated with 111In-chloride for 30 min at room temperature. An in vitro study of the obtained 111In-MAA was performed for labeling efficiency and stability in hum...

متن کاملSarcoidosis mimicking metastatic carinoid on indium-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy
Carcinoid is a neuroendocrine neoplasm derived from primitive stem cells, occurring most frequently in the alimentary tract. Somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy with indium-111 pentetreotide is a sensitive and noninvasive technique for imaging carcinoid and its metastatic spread. However, nontumoral lesions such as sarcoidosis may also express somatostatin receptors, which may present a diagnost...
