Lymphoscintigraphy.
Lymphoscintigraphy has been used as a noninvasive means of evaluating lymph node involvement. The potential exists for its wider application to other malignancies. Additionally, it is useful in determining the etiology of edema of the extremities. We report the use of 99mTc-antimony sulfide colloid lymphoscintigraphy to determine the etiology of edema of an extremity in a lymphoma patient.
