Description

We examined an interesting case of chromomycosis that had a characteristic Ga-67 accumulation. This patient had had widespread chromomycosis skin lesions for 8 years. We performed Ga-67 scintigraphy in an attempt to obtain additional information on the site and extent of the lesion. Ga-67 scintigraphy revealed not only all subcutaneous nodules but also an unsuspected enlarged lymphnode and a visceral lesion. This case indicates that Ga-67 scintigraphy is a very useful method to use in detecting the site and extension of chromomycosis, especially in the nodal and the visceral lesions, and sometimes might help in differential diagnosis.
