A 22-year-old female patient with a swelling in the right forearm near the elbow underwent a 67Ga-citrate scan because of paraesthesia on the ulnar side of the right hand. The 67Ga total body scan showed intense focal uptake on the forearm in the same position as the swelling. At surgery a histological diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma was made. Five months later, a repeat 67Ga scan was normal. Eight months after the diagnosis, the patient complained of pain in the left lumbar region extending to the hypogastric area. A third 67Ga scan showed intense uptake near the spinal column which at surgery was found to be a metastasis of the primary tumor.
