Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the accumulation of technetium-99m pertechnetate (99mTc) in malignant soft-tissue tumors. Twenty-one patients with malignant soft-tissue tumors were subjected to 99mTc scintigraphic studies. In 19 of 21 patients (90%), 99mTc accumulated extensively in the tumors. 99mTc accumulation was especially thorough in all cases of MFH and liposarcoma. Therefore, 99mTc is useful for the local evaluation of malignant soft-tissue tumors.
