The value of 99mTc-bleomycin scintigraphy in the evaluation of cold areas on a 99mTc-pertechnetate scan was investigated in 35 patients. A histological diagnosis was obtained in 31 patients. Only one of the six malignant lesions was considered as positive and two as doubtful. Of the remaining 25 patients with non-toxic colloid goitre, one was clearly positive and four were doubtful. These results indicate that 99mTc-bleomycin scintigraphy is not a valuable procedure in the further evaluation of patients with cold lesions.
