Accumulation of gallium-67 within mature and immature teratoma in pediatric patients: investigation for the uptake mechanism

Abstract Objective  We encountered cases of mature and immature teratoma with positive uptake of 67Ga. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of 67Ga accumulation within mature and immature teratomas by comparing the findings of gallium scan, computed tomography (CT), and autoradiography of surgical specimens with the pathological findings.
