Despite its benign microscopic appearance, aggressive fibromatosis has potential to recur and infiltrate neighboring tissues. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the exact extent before therapy. In the present study, 11 cases of aggressive fibromatosis were examined scintigraphically using ({sup 99m}Tc(V))dimercaptosuccinic acid (11 cases) and {sup 67}Ga-citrate (7 cases). Technetium-99m-(V)-dimercaptosuccinic acid demonstrated all lesions, while {sup 67}Ga-citrate detected 57% of the cases.
