Thallium-201 uptake in keloid tissue masquerading as a pulmonary neoplasm

Clin Nucl Med. 1994 Apr;19(4):333-5. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199404000-00012.

Abstract

Tl-201 imaging is useful in the diagnostic work-up of tumors. However, Tl-201 uptake is not specific for tumor and is also noted in other conditions. A case is described in which Tl-201 was taken up by a keloid.
