Unexpected gallium uptake in benign pulmonary pathology. Report of two cases
Description
Two cases in which pulmonary gallium uptake was demonstrated in benign conditions are reported. In one, the abnormality permitted localization of a benign mesothelioma, while in the other patient it was associated with pulmonary fibrosis resulting from therapeutic irradiation. These cases extend the causes of gallium accumulation in which neither malignancy nor infection is responsible
