We have reported a case of localized thymic enlargement and uptake of gallium 67 in a child who had received antineoplastic chemotherapy. The enlarged thymus showed normal histology, a picture consistent with thymic rebound after nonspecific stress. This case further demonstrates the need to consider thymic rebound as a cause of gallium 67 uptake in children with neoplastic diseases.
我们报告了一例接受过抗肿瘤化疗的儿童出现局限性胸腺增大及镓67摄取的病例。增大的胸腺组织学表现正常,这一情况与非特异性应激后的胸腺反弹相符。该病例进一步表明,对于患有肿瘤疾病的儿童,有必要将胸腺反弹视为镓67摄取的一个原因。
