title: Jejunal leiomyosarcoma detected by Tc-99m sulfur colloid gastrointestinal bleeding scan.
abstract: Jejunal leiomyosarcoma was initially detected in a patient by a gastrointestinal bleeding scan with Tc-99m sulfur colloid (SC). The scan showed increased blood flow and delayed persistent accumulation of radiotracer in the tumor. The Tc-99m SC gastrointestinal bleeding scan provided useful information to help determine the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumor with bleeding.
