Abstract:
In a patient with ocular melanoma scintigraphy obtained with 99mTc-GSH clearly demonstrated the histologically proven ocular lesion both in planar and SPECT images. 99mTc-sestamibi study obtained in the same patient three days later was negative. 99mTc-GSH is a potential alternative to the currently used radiopharmaceuticals for imaging both cutaneous and ocular melanomas and their metastases.
