    Author: Maini CL, Tofani A, Cioffi RP, Sciuto R, Morace E, Crecco M, Mottolese M.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1995 Jun; 20(6):508-11. PubMed ID: 7648733.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old woman had a 13-year history of a small bulge of the left frontal region which had increased in size during the last year. At admission, an orange-sized, hard, fixed left frontal mass was found. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperostosis in the left frontal region which was causing a skull deformity and marked focal meningeal enhancement. A hyperostotic plaque meningioma was hypothesized. In-111 octreotide scintigraphy confirmed the diagnosis before surgery. In-111 octreotide scintigraphy allows biologic characterization of neoplasms in vivo.
