Results from this study were consistent with other reported rates of (67)Ga scan sensitivity and specificity in the evaluation of lymphomas and infections. This indicates that (67)Ga scintigraphy is a useful tool for these types of evaluations when PET/CT services are not available.

Carcinoid tumors are relatively rare and can occur in the thorax, abdomen, or pelvis. Functional imaging in the form of Indium-111 pentetreotide scanning is widely used for identification of these tumors and it exploits the fact that the vast majority of these tumors express somatostatin receptors on their cell membrane. In this report, we present a case of a 76-year-old man who was diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The findings of the initial imaging made by planar and single photon emission computed tomography were misleading and the actual diagnosis was only made by single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography.

Iatrogenic chyle leak with chyloma formation in the neck is a rare complication of neck dissection resulting from injury to the thoracic duct. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who complained of left-sided neck swelling within days after total thyroidectomy and lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer. Lymphoscintigraphy demonstrated the chyle leak in the left cervical region, and subsequent aspiration of the left neck swelling showed radioactivity in the aspirate. After successful operative repair of the thoracic duct, the patient was able to undergo radioactive ablative thyroid treatment.
