title: Ga-67 and Tc-99m (V) DMSA imaging in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with amyloid tumor.
abstract: This report describes the localization and categorization of tumors using Ga-67 and Tc-99m (V) DMSA imaging in a rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with an amyloid tumor. Ga-67 uptake was found in both the lymphoma and the amyloid tumor. Significant Tc-99m (V) DMSA uptake was found only in the amyloid tumor. In this case, Ga-67 uptake was nonspecific, but Tc-99m (V) DMSA uptake gave additional information before treatment.
