Kaohsiung J Med Sci. 2003 Apr;19(4):193-5. doi: 10.1016/S1607-551X(09)70471-1.

Abstract

Gallium-67 scanning is a useful tool to search for infectious foci and malignant tumors. Multiple myeloma is one clinical indication for gallium-67 tumor survey. Here, we report a rare case of diffuse multiple cutaneous plasmacytomas from recurrent multiple myeloma, demonstrated by whole-body gallium-67 scan.
