View larger version (66K): [in this window] [in a new window]   FIGURE 1. 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy of patient 2. Planar anterior (A) and posterior (B) views of chest reveal bilateral increased lung uptake (lung-to-shoulder ratio, 2.90). (C) Transverse tomographic images reveal diffuse increased uptake.

Planar anterior views of left (A) and right (B) upper limbs, pelvis (C), and inferior limbs (D). Note increased uptake of 111In-pentetreotide in soft tissues around shoulders, hips, and knees.

View larger version (122K): [in this window] [in a new window]   FIGURE 4. 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy of patient 3. Planar anterior (A) and posterior (B) views of chest reveal bilateral increased lung uptake (lung-to-shoulder ratio, 2.59) and abnormal accumulation on salivary glands (A, arrows) and in axillary region (A, arrowheads). On posterior view of head (D), note increased uptake of 111In-pentetreotide of left ear region (arrow), which is faintly visible on anterior view (C).
