title: I-123 IMP scintigraphy in two patients with primary pulmonary malignant lymphoma.
abstract: 123I-IMP lung scintigraphy was performed in two patients with primary malignant lymphoma, whose radiographic features were difficult to differentiate from inflammatory or atelectatic lesions. 123I-IMP scans revealed a defect in the lesions on the delayed (24 hr) image, suggesting a tumorous lesion. 123I-IMP scan may contribute to differential diagnosis of this rare tumorous entity from benign disorders having a different appearance.
