Abstract

Intense accumulation of radioactivity during 67Ga-citrate scanning was observed in the leg of a patient with advanced mycosis fungoides after repeated radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Infiltration of the calf muscle by neoplastic lymphoid cells was confirmed at autopsy. Radionuclide visualization of an uncommon involvement of the skeletal muscle by the disease has not been previously reported.
