Abstract

67Ga-citrate and99mTc(V)-DMSA images were obtained in a patient with recurrent extraabdominal fibromatosis of the left calf. The67Ga-citrate image showed abnormal uptake in the left calf lesion and right calf, which was considered due to probable myositis caused by overexertion. On the other hand, the99mTc(V)-DMSA image showed abnormal uptake only in the left calf lesion. Surgical and radiation therapy was performed. Two years after the treatment, two lesions of the recurrent extraabdominal fibromatosis followed, and a99mTc(V)-DMSA image could demarcate the two lesions.99mTc(V)-DMSA images were considered to be useful in following up of recurrent extraabdominal fibromatosis.
