Abstract
A 72-year-old man was hospitalized for further evaluation of a space-occupy ing lesion in the abdomen. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor 40 m m in diameter in the abdomen. Anterior Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy revealed a region of accumulation of radioactivity in the abdomen corresponding to t he tumor. Mesenteric desmoid was diagnosed on the basis of histological fin dings for the excised tumor. These finding suggested that mesenteric desmoi d may be one of the rumors which show high uptake of Ga-67.
