TC-99M SESTAMIBI UPTAKE IN INFILTRATING DUCTAL CARCINOMA OF THE BREAST IN A MALE-PATIENT

A 73-year-old man had an asymptomatic, slowly growing breast nodule. T he mammographic appearance was highly suspicious of a malignancy, but the patient refused to undergo a biopsy. Because breast carcinoma has been previously described to accumulate Tc-99m MIBI in women, mammosci ntigraphy was performed as a complementary examination. Uptake of the agent was noted.
