title: [Significance of gallium scintigraphy in tumors and granulomatosis of the skin].
abstract: Scintigraphy with gallium has proved useful as a screening method for the diagnosis of certain malignant tumors and systemic diseases. One single scintigraphic investigation is able to detect almost all organs of a man. We checked this radiopharmacon with regard to its usefulness in dermatology. Gallium scintigraphy shows high sensitivity concerning verification and localization of metastases of malignant melanome as well as B- and T-cell lymphomas. Moreover, gallium is effective in controlling the therapie of sarcoidosis.
