A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma infiltrating the brachial plexus detected by Ga-67 scintigraphy.
The author reports a rare case of brachial plexus infiltration by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. T2-weighted MRI showed high signal intensity along the right brachial plexus and soft tissue masses. Ga-67 scintigraphy showed abnormal tracer uptake along the course of the right brachial plexus, and was superior to MRI in detecting the abnormality.
