Gallium-67 citrate scintigraphy in Wegener's granulomatosis involving the stomach.

67Ga-citrate scintigraphy was performed on a 68-year-old woman with Wegener's granulomatosis of the right orbita and nasal cavity to search for other involved sites. Seventy-two-hour images demonstrated an abnormal accumulation on the left upper abdomen, in addition to her head and chest. Upper gastrointestinal series revealed marked deformation of the upper part of the stomach and a large shallow ulcer on its posterior wall. The histological diagnosis from biopsied specimens on gastroendoscopy was an involvement of Wegener's granulomatosis. 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy was helpful in detecting the sites of involvements of this disease.
