Elevated 99mTc 3PRGD2 activity in benign metastasizing leiomyoma

Clin Nucl Med. 2013 Feb;38(2):117-9. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0b013e318279f14d.

Abstract

PET/CT scan was performed in a 43-year-old woman to evaluate pulmonary nodules/masses. The images showed that there was only minimal FDG activity in the masses. However, these soft tissue masses in the lungs had significantly elevated (99m)Tc 3PRGD(2) activity. Pathological examination demonstrated that this patient suffered benign metastasizing leiomyoma.
