Abstract
We report here a patient with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-lymp homa of the breast complicated with Sjogren syndrome. It is speculated that Ga-67 could accumulate not only in lymphoma lesions but also in benign lym phoproliferative locations of Sjogren syndrome. Gallium-67 scintigraphy mig ht be useful for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of MALT-lymphoma complicated with Sjogren syndrome.
