Overview
Scintigraphy may be helpful in the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma.[1][2]
Other Imaging Findings
Nuclear Medicine
- Scintigraphy may be used to differentiate Kaposi's sarcoma from other diseases such as:[1][2]
- Thallium 201 (Th201) scan is usually positive in both lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma
- Gallium 67 (Ga67) scan is usually negative in Kaposi sarcoma but positive in lymphoma
