ABSTRACT
Gallium-67 citrate has been known to localize in the lungs in a variety of pulmonary diseases. Abnormal lung activity implies active underlying disease. Serial Ga-67 lung scans may be helpful when steroids are used as therapeutic agents. A case of pulmonary eosinophic granuloma is reported here with diffuse bilateral Ga-67 pulmonary activity.

Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions of bone located in close relationship to the articular cartilage. The typical location and roentgenographic appearance of this lesion should permit a diagnosis of this entity which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign lesions of bone. Appearance of this lesion on a bone scan is shown in this case report.

Sarcoidosis involving the nervous system probably occurs in about 4% of patients. The usefulness of brain scintigraphy in these cases has been suggested. In this case of cerebral sarcoid granuloma, gallium imaging demonstrated the lesion before treatment and showed disappearance of the lesion after corticosteroid treatment, which correlated with the patient's clinical improvement.

In two patients, skull lesions radiologically typical of epidermoid tumor, but surgically unproven, showed intense concentration of Tc-99m-MDP. The lesions were also faintly positive with Tc-99m-DTPA and Ga-67-citrate.

Cystic lesions are generally thought not to displace the abdominal aorta. A case involving a large cystic mass near the pancreas which was proven to be a pancreatic pseudocyst is presented, with a dynamic nuclear angiogram and a CT scan of the abdomen showing displacement of the aorta.
