Sumario:Nuclear medicine labeled leukocyte whole-body scintigraphy is commonly used to identify a source of infection in a patient with fever of unknown origin. White blood cells can also localize to other sites of inflammation, including sometimes tumors. A patient with a large myxofibrosarcoma in his left forearm was scanned due to chronic low-grade fever and persistent leukocytosis. This case demonstrates focal white blood cell activity in an extremity soft tissue sarcoma.
