Bone and gallium scintigraphy of an oleothorax.
Oleothorax was largely used for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, before the advent of specific chemotherapy. Although the method was dis-continued more than 30 years ago, late complications do occur. We report here a case of a painful oleothorax that took up 99mTc-MDP and 67Ga-citrate.
