99mTc-Labeled Ubiquicidin Accumulation in a Retained Surgical Gauze.
A 31-year-old woman underwent Tc-labeled UBI scanning for diagnosis of possible prosthesis infection evaluation in our department. The scan showed an area of increased tracer uptake in the mid-lateral portion of the left thigh. This was proven to be due to a retained surgical gauze in her left thigh.
