Indium-111 scintigraphy is a method proposed for specific diagnosis and localization of focal infection. It has been found that, in general, cancers did not visualize with leukocyte scintigraphy. In this article, a case of positive indium-111 leukocyte scintigrams of a foot metstasis from a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung is reported. (JMT)
