title: Scintigraphic findings in renal malakoplakia.
abstract: The scintigraphic findings in a rare case of bilateral renal malakoplakia are presented. Markedly increased Ga-67 activity was present in both kidneys in sites corresponding to focal cortical defects on Tc-99m gluceptate (glucoheptonate) imaging. Interestingly, there was no abnormal renal activity with In-111 leukocyte scanning.
