title: Intracerebral uptake of Tc-99m labeled antimelanoma antibodies.
abstract: A patient with an intraocular tumor showed accumulation of Tc-99m labeled antimelanoma antibodies in the head. This was not due to a metastatic lesion but proved to be a benign intracranial osteoma. The reasons for this false-positive result are discussed.
