title: [Myocardial metastasis in the right ventricle from uterine cervical carcinoma with high 67Ga-citrate accumulation: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of high 67Ga-citrate accumulation with myocardial metastasis in the right ventricle from uterine cervical carcinoma. A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of acute abdomen after operation and radiotherapy for uterine cervical carcinoma. On performing 67Ga-scintigraphy for differentiation from fever of unknown origin, we found significant 67Ga-citrate accumulation in the right ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, this is a rare case.
