AI Article Synopsis
- Tc-99m EC is a radiopharmaceutical used in renal scintigraphy to evaluate kidney function and detect urinary tract obstructions.
- A case study describes a 70-year-old man with recurrent abdominal liposarcoma exhibiting unusual Tc-99m EC uptake outside the kidneys.
- The lesions identified via abdominal CT scan showed a heterogeneous accumulation of Tc-99m EC, indicating a possible link between the radiopharmaceutical and the presence of liposarcoma.
Article Abstract
The technetium-99m ethylene dicysteine (Tc-99m EC) is a radiopharmaceutical used for renal scintigraphy, a noninvasive imaging technique that assesses kidney function as well as urinary tract obstruction. We describe the extrarenal Tc-99m EC uptake in a 70-year-old man with recurrent well-differentiated abdominal liposarcoma. In the present case, both liposarcoma lesions which were diagnosed by abdominal CT scan showed heterogeneous accumulation of the Tc-99m EC.
