Localization of 99m Tc-pyrophosphate in an islet cell tumor of the pancreas.
A case of 99m Tc-pyrophosphate uptake in an islet cell tumor of the pancreas is presented. A possible relationship of pyrophosphate uptake in this tumor with uptake in other neuroectodermal tumors which are of neural crest origin is considered.
