Scan

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland treated with rituximab

(A) Pre-treatment scan demonstrating increased radiotracer activity in both lacrimal glands. Thyroid uptake is likely due to thyroiditis.
(B) Post-treatment scan showing resolution of the previous foci of increased activity in both lacrimal glands but persistent abnormality in the thyroid gland.
