Thallium-avid leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall: case report

; ; ;
A patient presented with leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall and parietal pleura, low grade malignant type, probably recurring from a section of a tumor of the parietal pleura diagnosed in 1979. During the course of pre-operative cardiac clearance, a resting thallium scan was performed. Examination of the study demonstrates dramatic thallium uptake in the left lung corresponding to the patient's lung mass. Extra cardiac accumulation of /sup 201/Tl has been described in pulmonary neoplasms. The authors present an interesting case of a thallium-avid leiomyosarcoma of the chest wall which presented rather dramatic and discrete uptake of the isotope clearly distinguishable from the pulmonary activity which is seen left ventricular dysfunction, or low-level stress.
