Indium-111 labeled leukocyte accumulation in extremity soft tissue sarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nuclear medicine labeled leukocyte whole-body scintigraphy is commonly used to identify a source of infection in a patient with fever of unknown origin. White blood cells can also localize to other sites of inflammation, including sometimes tumors. A patient with a large myxofibrosarcoma in his left forearm was scanned due to chronic low-grade fever and persistent leukocytosis. This case demonstrates focal white blood cell activity in an extremity soft tissue sarcoma.

Dichotomous Indium-111 labeled leukocyte scan findings while evaluating osteomyelitis in a failed mandibular graft
Markedly elevated111 In labeled leukocyte activity suggestive of acute osteomyelitis was observed in a region of a composite mandibular allograft that was photon deficient on 99mTc MDP bone scintigraphy. This finding was later confirmed by surgical pathology. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and returned two months later with persistent bone infection. The foHow-up thr...
متن کاملThe effect of ibuprofen on accumulation of indium-111-labeled platelets and leukocytes in experimental myocardial infarction.
To assess the ability of ibuprofen to influence the extent of platelet aggregation and leukocyte infiltration during acute myocardial infarction, autologous indium-111 (111-In)-labeled platelets or leukocytes were injected before 60 minutes of left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) occlusion, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion in the canine heart. Myocardial infarct size, as a percent of the ar...

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic aortic dissection require monitoring for indications of disease progression. In present study, inflammation adjacent to associated aortic wall was evaluated by indium-111-oxine-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy, scince inflammation of the blood vessel wall often associates with progression of chronic aortic dissection. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen patients with ao...
متن کاملIndium-111-labeled polyclonal human immunoglobulin: identifying focal infection in patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus.
Pooled human immunoglobulin labeled with indium-111 (111In-HIgG) was used to identify the presence and extent of infection in patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), presenting with either symptoms and/or signs of acute chest infection or with pyrexia without localizing signs or symptoms. Fifty-five studies were performed in 51 patients with suspected chest infection or pyrexi...
متن کاملIndium-111 leukocyte imaging in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This study evaluates the usefulness of labeled leukocyte imaging in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In 33 patients, the incidence of pain and swelling in 66 wrist joints and 66 knee joints was compared with the accumulation of [111In]leukocytes. No accumulation of [111In]leukocytes was seen in any of the patients' wrists (0/12) or knee joints (0/14) when both pain and swelling were absent. ...
