Jejunal leiomyosarcoma detected by Tc-99m sulfur colloid gastrointestinal bleeding scan

Clin Nucl Med. 1990 May;15(5):327-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199005000-00011.

Abstract

Jejunal leiomyosarcoma was initially detected in a patient by a gastrointestinal bleeding scan with Tc-99m sulfur colloid (SC). The scan showed increased blood flow and delayed persistent accumulation of radiotracer in the tumor. The Tc-99m SC gastrointestinal bleeding scan provided useful information to help determine the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumor with bleeding.
