Diffuse pulmonary uptake of Indium-111 chloride in idiopathic myelofibrosis.
Unusual indium-111 accumulation and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the lungs of a patient with idiopathic myelofibrosis are described. The bone marrow scan taken 24 hours after intravenous injection of 111InCl3 faithfully depicted the abnormal distribution of marrow elements as assessed histologically at autopsy, thereby supporting the usefulness of 111InCl3 for marrow imaging.
