title: Assessment of peritoneal spread of tumor by scintigraphy. A case report.
abstract: A case of peritoneal scintigraphy performed in a patient eligible for peritoneal locoregional treatment with previous positioning of an implantable device is reported. The result of scintigraphy has played a major role in the diagnosis of adhesion and thus in the subsequent therapeutic approach. Indications for peritoneal scintigraphy in the preliminary stage of locoregional treatment by completely implantable devices, are also briefly discussed.
