Scintigraphic detection of hepatic metastases with 131I-labeled steroid in recurrent adrenal carcinoma: case report

  • 1. Kyushu Univ., Fukuoka, Japan

Description

Abdominal scintigraphy using a new 131I-labeled steroid agent was performed on a 40-year-old woman proven by surgery to have adrenocortical carcinoma. Considerable accumulations were observed at the sites of liver metastasis. Hepatic scintigraphy and autopsy findings revealed that the accumulation was more marked at the active cancer cells and only slight in the central necrotic tissue. Adrenal scintigraphy is valuable in the study of metastatic hormone-producing adrenal carcinoma
