Bone, brain, and gallium scintigrams are presented of a 48-year-old man with biopsy-proven cerebral amyloidosis. Brain scintigraphy revealed a well-circumscribed accumulation of Tc-99m pertechnetate in the amyloidoma. Bone scintigraphy using Tc-99m methylenediphosphonate likewise exhibited increased activity in the same area. Gallium-67 citrate, however, failed to localize within the amyloidoma.
