Gallium-67 citrate scintiscanning in testicular neoplasia.

Abstract

Gallium-67 citrate has been used to evaluate 19 patients with malignant tumors of the testes. Five patients with abnormal uptake of the radiotracer in the abdomen proved to have other evidence confirming metastatic spread to this site. Eight patients, with normal scan findings, surgery and lymphangiorgraphy, provided no conflicting evidence of disease although one of these patients has subsequently developed increased urinary gonadotrophin concentrations. Surgery caused an abnormal scan and such patients were excluded from the analysis pointing to the need for preoperative evaluation. The technique of 67-gallium scintigraphy appears of value in assessing the intra-abdominal spread of malignant tumors of the testes.
