Tl-201 uptake in pulmonary mycobacterium avium complex infection

Primary lung cancers are well known causes of increased pulmonary Tl-201 uptake that may be detected during myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Other cancers and various benign conditions may also show increased Tl-201 accumulation and may be initially detected as incidental findings during myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. This report demonstrates Tl-201 uptake in a patient with pulmonary Mycobacterlum avium complex infection.
