Summary

Three cases of scintigraphic visualization of gynaecological tumours by 99mTc-HSA blood pool imaging are presented, i.e. one case of fibrothecoma (“cold” area visualization) and two cases of fibromyoma (“hot” area visualization). It is suggested that this technique may be useful in the preoperative evaluation of gynaecological tumours and their vascularity.

Zusammenfassung

Es werden drei Fälle vorgestellt, bei denen gynäkologische Tumore mittels 99mTc-HSA szintigraphisch dargestellt wurden, und zwar ein Fibrothecom (Sichtbarmachung eines “kalten” Bereiches) und zwei Fibromyome (Sichtbarmachung eines “heißen” Bereiches). Diese Methode könnte in der präoperativen Beurteilung gynäkologischer Tumore und ihrer Gefäßversorgung von Nutzen sein.
