Context 1

... nuclear imaging studies were done: Thallium 201 whole body revealed that the viable malignant tissue in the skull lesion was present predominantly in the lateral area and the base of the lesion (Figure 4). 80-90% of the tumour was necrotic. No abnormal tracer uptake was seen in the normal brain parenchyma inferior to the base of tumour. This suggested that the massive tumour region in the skull was largely necrotic and avascular. Abnormal tissue, probably malignant was present in right lobe of thyroid. Focal abnormality was seen in right clavicular region with diffuse area in the right lung mostly lower zone and upper zone of left lung. A large photopenic mediastinal mass is noted, pushing the heart laterally. An abnormal, discrete focus of radiotracer accumulation is noted in the 6th rib posteriorly and in right iliac bone in the 3 hrs image of the Tc-99m MDP Three phase bone scan ( Figure 5). ...
