The purpose of this study was to investigate the accumulation of technetium-99m pertechnetate (99mTc) in malignant soft-tissue tumors. Twenty-one patients with malignant soft-tissue tumors were subjected to 99mTc scintigraphic studies. In 19 of 21 patients (90%), 99mTc accumulated extensively in the tumors. 99mTc accumulation was especially thorough in all cases of MFH and liposarcoma. Therefore, 99mTc is useful for the local evaluation of malignant soft-tissue tumors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.

D008297 Male Males
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.
