Three soft tissue tumors were studied with 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy, 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy and MRI. These tumors included schwannoma, neurofibromatosis and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. On 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigram all patients showed more increased accumulation corresponding to the tumor than on 67Ga-citrate scintigram. In conclusion, 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy may be useful in detection of soft tissue tumors.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009442	Neurilemmoma	A neoplasm that arises from SCHWANN CELLS of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. Clinically, these tumors may present as a cranial neuropathy, abdominal or soft tissue mass, intracranial lesion, or with spinal cord compression. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, highly vascular, and composed of a homogenous pattern of biphasic fusiform-shaped cells that may have a palisaded appearance.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
