Gallium-67 scintigraphy in malignant melanoma

Abstract: Gallium‐67 whole body scintigraphy was included in the diagnostic workup of 44 consecutive patients with biopsy proven malignant melanoma in order to study the uptake of this nuclide by known melanoma tissue and to objectively assess its value in the detection of known and unknown meta‐static disease.

“…Milder and his co‐workers (1973) included whole body gallium‐67 scintigraphy in the diagnostic workup of 44 consecutive patients with biopsy‐proved malignant melanomas in order to study the uptake of this nuclide by known melanoma tissue and to assess its value in the detection of known and unknown metastatic disease. It is the only procedure capable of visualizing tumor in any organ of the body.…”

“…Zur Untersuchung verwendeten wir eine Gamma-Szintillationskamera (Picker-Dyna 4/12) mit einem eigens entwickelten Doppellochblendenkollimator, uber den 1979 erstmals berichtet wurde (6,7,8 Als Radiopharmaka verwendeten wir parallel 67Gallium-Zitrat und 99mTechnetium-Pertechnetat, die sich bei der nuklearmedizinischen Tumordiagnostik anderer Organe bereits bewährt haben. 67Gallium-Zitrat reichert sich in proliferierendem Tumorgewebe gut an und hat sich bei der Diagnostik maligner Tumoren bereits bewahrt (1,16,18). Tm Tierversuch fand sich bei intraokularen Melanomen im Vergleich zum umgebenden Gewebe eine Anreicherung um den Faktor 30 (17).…”

“…Tumoren mit einem Durchmesser zwischen 3 und 10 mm können dem Nachweis entgehen, vor allem, wenn sie flach wachsen oder peripher gelegen sind. Ubereinstimmend mit anderen Autoren konnte eine Abhängigkeit der Anreicherungseigenschaften der beiden verwendeten Radiopharmaka von der histologischen Typisierung der Aderhautmelanome nicht gefunden werden (16). Die deutlichen Anreicherungen beidseits bei der einen Patientin mit beidseitigen Aderhautmetastasen bei bekanntem Nasenmuschelsarkom (Abb.…”

“…With respect to radionuclide techniques, gallium scintigraphy has often been employed for detecting human ma-lignant melanomas (Milder et al 1973 patients, aged 62 (case 1) and 76 years (case 2). In case 1, the primary focus was the right heel and the metastatic foci were present in the right inguinal and the para-aortic lymph nodes.…”
