201Tl and 67Ga Uptake in Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Heart

A patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the heart is described who was initially presented with a left atrial tumor. Subsequent 201Tl and 67Ga scintigraphy showed massive uptake of the tracers by the tumor and the pattern of uptake was thought to reflect underlying necrosis and hemorrhage w...

Subsequent 201Tl and 67Ga scintigraphy showed massive uptake of the tracers by the tumor and the pattern of uptake was thought to reflect underlying necrosis and hemorrhage within the tumor.
