A primary carcinoid tumor of the thymus showing ectopic ACTH syndrome was evaluated scintigraphically with four radiopharmaceuticals and a fluorescence method. Iodine-123-MIBG and 201Tl-Cl scintigraphy clearly demonstrated the tumor. Gallium-67-citrate and 99mTc(V)-DMSA showed no tumor uptake. The fluorescence method confirmed numerous storage granules of norepinephrine. Iodine-123-MIBG scintigraphy could be useful in the presurgical diagnosis of carcinoid tumors of the thymus.
对一例表现为异位促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）综合征的胸腺原发性类癌肿瘤，采用四种放射性药物和一种荧光方法进行了闪烁显像评估。碘-123-间碘苄胍（MIBG）和铊-201（201Tl）-氯化物闪烁显像清晰显示了肿瘤。枸橼酸镓-67和锝-99m（99mTc）（V）-二巯基丁二酸（DMSA）未显示肿瘤摄取。荧光方法证实了去甲肾上腺素的大量储存颗粒。碘-123-MIBG闪烁显像可能有助于胸腺类癌肿瘤的术前诊断。
