Abstract
Primary gynecologic malignant lymphomas are rare and gallium (Ga)-67 imaging has proven
to be useful to differentiate viable lymphoma from fibrotic or necrotic tissue. Computed
tomographic (CT) scan is often used in initial localization and staging of the lymphoma.
In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the findings of Ga-67 single photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) correlated with those of CT scan for staging initial disease
and also differentiation between active lymphoma and post-treatment changes in the
follow-up studies.
