title: Thallium-201 uptake in keloid tissue masquerading as a pulmonary neoplasm.
abstract: Tl-201 imaging is useful in the diagnostic work-up of tumors. However, Tl-201 uptake is not specific for tumor and is also noted in other conditions. A case is described in which Tl-201 was taken up by a keloid.
