Abstract

Technetium-99m methoxy-isobutylisonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI) is a routinely used radiopharmaceutical for myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS). It is also a tumor seeking agent. Here, we present a case of 51 year old male who underwent Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion study due to permanent chest pain after coronary angiography. Abnormal MIBI uptake in the thorax was detected in the raw images. This single finding led to further investigation and thoracotomy proved that the lesion was benign thymoma. Thymomas are often asymptomatic or have a non-specific presentation. They are often detected coincidentally on images performed for any other reasons. We wanted to emphasize that during of MPS, the raw data should always be reviewed as occasionally valuable additional information on noncardiac pathology could be recognized by extracardiac uptake, as in this case.

Özet

Teknesyum-99m methoxy-isobutylisonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI), miyokard perfüzyon sintigrafisinde (MPS) rutin kullanılan bir radyofarmasötiktir. Aynı zamanda tümör araştırma ajanıdır. Burada, 51 yaşında koroner anjiografi sonrası devamlı göğüs ağrıs nedeniyle Tc- 99m MIBI MPS yapılan erkek bir hasta sunuyoruz. İşlenmemiş görüntülerde toraksta anormal MIBI tutulumu görülmüştür. Bu bulgu daha ileri tetkik ve torakotomi yapılmasına neden olmuş ve lezyonun benign timoma olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Timomalar, sıklıkla asemptomatiktirler veya spesifik olmayan belirtilere sahiptirler. Herhangi bir nedenle yapılan görüntüleme sonucu tesadüfen saptanırlar. Bu olgu ile MPS sırasında, kalp dışı patolojiler hakkında değerli bilgi verebilecek tutulumların farkına varılması açısından işlenmemiş verilerin her zaman gözden geçirilmesi gerekliğini vurgulamak istedik.
