Özet

A 4-year-old boy with retinoblastoma whose left eye was enucleated was referred for tumor imaging. Tl-201 tumor imaging was performed to detect possible recurrence of the primary tumor. He was agitated and cried during injection, and as a result bilateral increased lacrimal gland uptake was seen on early images. Crying during injection should be excluded, especially in children, when significant lacrimal gland uptake of Tl-201 is present.
