[99mTc-MIBI imaging of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma]
1Department of Otolaryngology, Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command, Wuhan, 430070, China.
Objective:
To explore a noninvasive, effective and preoperative method of diagnosis for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
Method:
The craniocervical examination oncotropic by 99mTc-MIBI imaging was performed in 3 patients with nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
Result:
Early 99mTc-MIBI imaging was weakly positive and late its imaging was radioactively defective in 3 cases of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. 99mTc-MIBI imaging of the angiofibroma was significantly different from that of malignant and benign tumors.
Conclusion:
99mTc-MIBI oncotropic imaging is of qualitatively diagnostic value for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma before operation, because 99mTc-MIBI imaging was of certain features.
