[Ga-67 scintigram in evaluation of malignant lymphoma of the thyroid originating from chronic thyroiditis]
At the Itoh Hospital, 27 patients with primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid gland have been diagnosed from April 1985 to April 1988. Within the 27 patients, 8 patients were treated with a diagnosis of chronic thyroiditis during 1 year to 7 years at Itoh Hospital. Ga-67 scintigraphy was performed in the 8 patients as suspected malignant lymphoma. Of the 8 patients, 6 were very strong positive, 1 was strong positive and 1 was weak positive. All patients with Ga-67 strong positive scans should have a biopsy and the scans are helpful to direct the biopsy. Ga-67 scintigraphy is useful in the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma of the thyroid gland.
