[Is it useful to perform a (67)gallium scintigraphy in the follow-up of patients with gastric lymphoma?].
Gastric (67)gallium uptake in patients with peptic ulcer has been described in many publications literature. We present the case of a jejunal (67)gallium uptake in a patient with a background of total gastrectomy due to a diffuse large B cell gastric lymphoma, associated to benign peptic ulcer which had been identified by endoscopy. We have not found any similar cases in regards to (67)gallium reported in the literature. This study aims to present a review of the causes of gastrointestinal uptake of (67)gallium and of the utility of the radiotracer in patients with gastric lymphoma.
