Gallium-67 scintigraphic findings in a patient with breast lymphoma complicated with Sjögren syndrome

Ann Nucl Med. 2000 Jun;14(3):227-9. doi: 10.1007/BF02987866.

Abstract

We report here a patient with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-lymphoma of the breast complicated with Sjögren syndrome. It is speculated that Ga-67 could accumulate not only in lymphoma lesions but also in benign lymphoproliferative locations of Sjögren syndrome. Gallium-67 scintigraphy might be useful for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of MALT-lymphoma complicated with Sjögren syndrome.
