ABSTRACT

In a patient with metastatic lesion in the liver from, a primary carcinoma in the colon, a ^87mSr whole-body scan revealed excessive accumulation of isotope within the liver lesion. This uptake of ^87mSr in the liver metastasis cannot be attributed to increased vascularity of the tumor as evidenced from the absence of activity in the ^113mIn-transferrin scan. The possibility of specific tumor uptake of ^87mSr (as with gallium) has to be kept in mind.
